Single vs Group Life for Tortoises
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 พ.ย. 2017
- Another great question this week for Kenan. This one comes from Patreon supporter Nathan See who asks "Do Cherry Heads do better in groups of 2-3 instead of keeping just 1?" Group life vs the single life for a tortoise keeper is a question many people who are just getting started in reptiles ask themselves. Find out Kenan's answer now!

I love that two. I have 2 Sulcata babies. I notice most of the time the smaller one sleeps ontop of the bigger one lol. I love watching them eat and interact. It was funny when they both didnt realize they grabbed the same piece of food. It was like a lady and the trap moment lol.
Some tortoises live single lives, some live group lives. But I wouldn't recommend thug life for tortoises, though. Young hooligan tortoises holding up cabbage patches. Then the police tortoises show up and are like "what's all this then". Then the old wise judge tortoise will be like "I have to give you the harshest possible punishment. I hereby sentence you to be flipped over." Too fast-paced if you ask me.
Urpo Lankinen Lol this is so funny😂
I love this
Yes, especially since the "Cabbage Man" from avatar the last airbender would want them to be flipped over, once per cabbage.
Redfoots and cherryheads are absolutely beautiful ❤️💕😍 I love tortoises.... amazing video as usual kenan 👍🏻👍🏻
weather looks so lovely thought it was a old video until I checked the date! Love from LONDON! x
Beautiful home you have your awesome cherryheads.
I never knew how much I liked turtles until I saw a bunch of baby pictures. They are so cute. You can see my turtles in one of my first videos on my channel. Can't wait until they get old enough to eat without my help. Love all of your turtles. Funny ending.
I bought a young Red-Footed Tortoise last August. I decided that I would like a couple more so I bought two more just over three weeks ago. It has made a big difference to the feeding of the original Animal which is now taking a lot more varied diet. It was refusing skin on fruit but now eats. Although the new ones are a year younger and a year smaller they all get along fine together with the original happily sharing its favourite hide.
I'm about to be in the same exact situation just greek tort. About to get my little buddy some friends
Keep up the great work
Hi I love your videos
My 75 pound, 44 year old male sulcata recently received a 15 pound, 8 year old lady sulcata. The little lady bullies my old guy. He knocks him constantly. I figured he would annoy her, but nope.
Why is ur male sulcata small ? Only 75 ?
@@MonicaHolly143 His previous owner severely stunted him. He was owned by a man who could barely care for himself. He tried his best but unfortunately it wasnt enough.
@@hobbithabits and how is the lady sulcata 8 years and just 15lbs ? It looks like the sulcata in ur area are mistreated and have owners who dont know what thry are doing
Hello from China. Love your videos!!!!
The More the Merrier! Individual space requirements end up limiting a lot of folks, especially you guys up North. Coldest night I have ever had here was 48oF. My Cherry Heads love it here.
NIce video!

hey, Kenan, can you do more swimming with and I think you do so much great person and I am going to be a zoologist in a couple of years because of you
1:01 he is a female 😂
I have a cherry head baby and been debating getting another one to have a pair. After watching this I may get her another one. When I got her from the breeder she was sleeping with another so thinking she may like the socialness
Kenan I have a redfooted adult tortoise and keep him indoors since its cold outside now and i was wondering what do you think the best substrate or bedding for him? Cypress Mulch? Reptile Bark? I'm not so sure on what to use as bedding but if you could help me out that'd be awesome!
The ending was jokesss
Cool videos thanks for sharing how big do the cherry heads Get?
14-18 inches
LIT vid
Do elongated tortoise agressive?? And can you make a video about leaf turtles?
Pleaseeee 😌😌
What is the best kind of tortoise to breed indoors and how many should I get for them to be most likely to breed
Did you get that tortoise from the BMX Scotty Cranmer?! He used to be my all time favorite rider! That’s crazy
I assume sulcatas can't because they're a bit more aggressive but would like to know if my little man should have a buddy
I live in North Carolina it's freezing!!!!
I'm just curious sir. How old that red foot tort that you lift before the end of this video? Thanks
Only minus 2°C here in middle of sweden
What about hermanns tortoise
Is a 47 gallon aquarium big enough for a Dumerils Boa?
Mantap jiwa
What about Hermann’s
I'd have a question Kenan, Is Red-Footeds and Hermann's good together?
What should I feed to my star tortoise
Yep I wont anothr turtal now mine is lonly 😆 awesomeness
Could we get more marginated tortoise videos ??
What inspired you to have a lot of animals
Its -3°c where I'm at 😢
That one Cherry head was stuck behind the door
Do sulcatas live better alone ???
You should do reptile boarding for extra money for the sanctuary.
Wow i didn't know tortoise can eat n poop at the same time @6.00. LOL
If u keep brothers and sisters tortoises will they try to mate
I was gifted a 4 year old female red footed tortoise. Not cherry head. I was wondering if I should get another female (because I'm worried that if I get a male, he might hurt her by accident).
I had a redfoot for 42 years. Her name was Studebaker. She had full run of my kitchen, was paper trained and loved to be hand fed. Every year I'd take her to a local library during their summer reading program. I don't know how old she was, but she was almost full grown when I got her. After a few years I got adopted by a cat named Motor City Kitty and they slept together. They made quite a pair.
Jim Vandemoter so what happened? Did your tortoise pass?
how in the world were u allowed to be adopted by a cat?
@@kenjiro2676 Yes.
@@mikeperry7335 Just lucky, I guess.
How old are ur big red foots cause I've got two baby 1 year old ones
Hi Kenan!!! It’s my birthday first of all. I am turning 16!!! I have a question for you. I just got a red footed tortoise and wanted to build him/her an outdoor enclosure for the summer because I live in Ohio. What would you recommend on how to build an enclosure that I can walk into like a gate or something and how do I prevent other animals like squirrels and mice, etc from entering? Thanks kenan!!! I also tried sending you an email but it keeps coming back and doesn’t work.
Did you ever build the enclosure? I've been wanting a Russian or cherry head, but Ohio does get quite cold for the babies :/
@@psychoticlolita3545 get a small tortoise and build something indoors for the winter. I live in Canada and have a Herman's so that I can bring the tortoise inside for most of spring autumn and winter. Really only the summer is suitable for outdoors for a tortoise where I live
Hey brother please make Care tutorial video about Indian star tortoise
Did you check his ultimate guide that he just uploaded?
hows slinky doing ?
I have a 3 (almost 4) year old sulcata tortoise and I was wondering if they're fine living alone I'm not planning on getting another tortoise anytime soon and I know they aren't super social creatures but I just wanted to make sure he wouldn't get lonely.
if someone could answer that'd be great, thanks!
The_Wise_Tortoise nah they wont get lonely
All they need is you hand feeding them :) but the more the merrier for you and the tortoise! But that also means more poop..
Regardless of species,......"ALWAYS" more than (2) ,.......3 (three) is a great number to start.,.....Just have lots of (secured) out-of-doors space,..pesticide-FREE grass '&' WEEDS',(don't forget the weeds) "WATER",......."Water".THEN visit the Kamp Kenan VIDS for ALL the rest you'll need to know.
I'd add that it is important to try as best you can to source your group from the same source. This helps with knowing the locality and genetics, as well as health history. Parasites are a big issue in imports and even some "CB" tortoises and turtles, and having some back history saves you some potential headache
Ive got a chinese water dragon and I really want to build him an outside enclosure but I dont know if he would do well outside. Im in Jacksonville fl so it gets a bit colder here. Do you have any suggestions or should I not even try to put him outside?
a group of tortoises is called a creep
It's -10
Do u have any aquatic baby turtles😎🐢 I have 8 😎👍
Tiana Dew cool!I have a Rusdian tortoises
Clone trooper 66 awesome, take care of it, as long as you live.
He has like 300+
Come to Australia
It's 42°F here. I'm cold. D: That's the main reason I don't have a turtle: it's too cold. XP
Get a small one like a Hermann's and you can make a perfectly good enclosure indoors for them
U look like Armie hammer
what's with this Patreon stuff? you live in a million dollar home)))
You sell animals, get sponsorships, free stuff, etc., why do you have to take money from young people who are looking for education. Shame on you.
