Did you notice that big heart piece of shell on the front of the plastern (bottom shell)? Its much smaller on the females. Because the males use it to joust and flip the competition over. If they're stuck long enough upside down in the sun they could die. Sometimes a nearby buddy will help flip them back over. 🐢💚

My boy absolutely LOVES Ike - he even named his stuffed turtle Ike. We have watched and rewatched all your videos because he won’t let me go a day without watching Ike.
You are such a kind-hearted Man!!! Hi beautiful Tillman🖤🐾, hail King Ike!!👑🐢 Hello to ALL your beautiful Tortoises(great names!!) Thank you for rescuing the Tortoises & all the nutritious foods you feed them🥬🍌🎃 THANK YOU Kind Sir!!!🥰
@@TheTortoiseWhisperer You deserve the praise. Very few of us could or would make room in our lives for these interesting dinosaurs. Thanks for doing it so well.
They act like they're starving and I know you take good care of them you have no idea how much pleasure I get out of watching you take care of your turtles thank you so much for the good videos
I recently came across your channel and it really brightens my day! You seem to sincerely care about these tortoises :) Have you thought of doing a Q&A video about yourself and how/why you got stated raising turtles? I think it would be great
They really know the layout and routine. It’s great to see them able to wander over a large exterior yard and sample wild plants. Then home to the Tortoise Garage and more Ike action.
I love how you care for your tortoises soo much and they love you back. You can see how much they love you when they rest their cute faces in your hands. Ike is my favourite. Xx
I saw some tortoises when I was in the Galápagos a few years ago. They are so much fun to watch! And the way they eat is too adorable ❤ Glad I came across your channel so I can watch them eat again.
I have a question; why don't you buy imperfect or waste vegetables and fruit. It still has all of the nutrients the torts need but at a better commercial or free price? I used to feed goats and chickens imperfect or left over fruits and veg for a much better (and sometimes free) price. They got lots more of the very favorites that I did have to buy retail, like berries and seasonal fruit. I enjoy your videos because I am starting to see individual behavior traits in the torts you always introduce. Did Ike try to bite the back of Gertie's shell when he couldn't get past the rocker horse to the lettuce? He IS the dominant tort!! I think the big torts are bottomless pits for ALL food all the time. After watching Ike and his harem, I understand how in the wild a male has a territory with a group of females and he defends it to the best of his ability. Do you compost the tort droppings? As vegetarians that would be some good soil enhancer for gardens or house plants. Almost as good as worm castings/better than cow.
“You’ve got to be kidding me” -Woody Yes. I’m talking about that scene where he’s getting chased by Sid’s dog. But yeah. Your dog seems like he loves his Woody.
I love your channel. They are such incredible creatures! My question is what happens to all the babies once they get bigger? Do you sell them? Do they go to -Zoo’s? Just curious since I Don’t know anyone who has a pet tortoise
I try to keep as many babies as I can but unfortunately I'm just not able to keep every single one with the amount that they do have. So after I make sure they're 100% healthy and ready, I do let some go to new and good homes. But all the babies that are in this video will grow up here 😁🐢
@@TheTortoiseWhisperer when are you going to open your house to tours? maybe on weekends and limited visits/number of people. you can earn money to keep it going and people would love to meet all the guys in person and some head rubs too 🥰
Great video buddy I love watching you take care of those turtles my ex girlfriend had one and she would tape a balloon to his back in the backyard because the grass was tall so she could keep up with him and he just loved to explore and eat all the greens you're a great man
Ike day is 45% eating, 45% mating, 10% whipping other males who try to mates shell. Ike is truly living a blessed life

Daily routine is about 40% eating and 60% WOW

My friend ike here loves to wow every day. Damia is his main squeeze but he's really a dog wowing any new chick that waddles into the tortoise inn.
😂
I know 😏 lol, Ike is just a super freak
Sounds about right to me.
tortoises are my favourite animals, your channel is a blessing!
Yup 👍
The wassup buddy and Tilman always puts a smile on my face.
Sounding like an lawnmower engine all day explains Ike's appitite lol
Lawnmower who doesn't wanna to start xD
Ike just never misses a chance😂
I love how your pup is so equally happy to be there 🥰
Ike just keeps hitting that 😂
Considering how long tortoise live, Ike would still be banging while most of the current viewers of this channel would be history.
That's f..king gold😂😂
Omg. So true
Love the care and attention they all get, so fun to watch their shenanigans!!
Ike... Goes into a dark room...WOW! WOW! WOW! 😂😂😂
Nice, a long video. Cuteness overload... I am ready for it 😍 Ike being Ike and doing his thing, I love the camera on his back. More footage please

@@jmtimmons you gis dont get fod?
I like how at the end All the other tortoises are trying to go to sleep and Ike is just going to town middle fingers in the air lol
I wish I lived in a climate that would allow me to keep sulcatas outdoors. Awesome group you have!
Thank you so much Tom!! They are amazing.. My backyard is their backyard lol
Yeah I also wish I could keep my own.
The sound of their chomps crushing those fruits & veggies is incredible 😮
Tillman carrying Woody might be my favorite thing. 😄
Yo! Ike cam! Let's Go Budddyyy!
i'll have to use your signature catchphrase lmao, "HEY BUDDEY"
Love the channel!
They really know the layout and routine. It’s great to see them able to wander over a large exterior yard and sample wild plants. Then home to the Tortoise Garage and more Ike action.
Let's put the GoPro on Ike whilst he films an "Adult tortoise movie"😳
😅😂
Ike is a living legend
I love how you care for your tortoises soo much and they love you back. You can see how much they love you when they rest their cute faces in your hands. Ike is my favourite. Xx
Love the doggo always running around with his pal Woody 😊
These tortoises eat way healthier than I do...
I saw some tortoises when I was in the Galápagos a few years ago. They are so much fun to watch! And the way they eat is too adorable ❤ Glad I came across your channel so I can watch them eat again.
the voice of saying HEY BUDDY i adored very much heyyyyyy budddyyy aw so very sweet
I love how they eyeball the food, then take a big bite and try to swallow it while.
These guys are awesome. I never get tired of watching them, particularly Ike.
I don't know how I got here but it's very wholesome and positive.
They have a great life 👌🏻👍🏻
That was way cool. Enjoyed that a lot. Oh ike, he be the man.
I saw the notification come up, and I just smiled. 🙂🙃🐢🐢🐢
Hey my favorite tortoises. 😊🙋♀️💜

What Ive learned is that Ike’s daily routine consists almost entirely of “WOW”
Ike is living the best life He just gets to eat and WOW all day long lucky SOB

Ike is a fkn asshole lol, he'd flip your Tortoise & hump him

They mate quite a bit especially during the breeding season 🐢
