    I saw a lady who received a tortous in 1962 when she was 10 years old. She is 71 years old and still has him. Her daughter will inherit him as she has known him all of her life.

    The 2:28 mark I think is my favorite Tiptoe facial expression. He looks super chill with a hunk of flower hanging out of his mouth 😂

    It’s sad that many get abandoned because people don’t research what they are getting into in advance. We ended up getting a Russian tortoise exactly for that reason that we wanted to be sure we’d be able to care for him. And we love him and he makes us laugh!! They are great animals!!

    I love watching Tiptoe. He is such a good boy. I would adopt a tortoise if I didn’t have dogs. My dogs wouldn’t let me have another kind of animal. So watching y’all gives me so much pleasure.

    awe Caitlin you truly are a beautiful spirit💕and yes my 7 yro sulcata named newyear_hope started digging the minute we put him in the yard,he dug his burrow by grandma's window heading towards the sidewalk,it's covered with a tarp and I made a big ring of dirt around his burrow to try and keep the rain out,he has grandma's hibiscus bush that hangs over his burrow but not low enough to get in his way,but her hibiscus are in the ground and are like 8 feet tall,mine are lined up along the fence in flower pots,so he gets plenty of hibiscus 🌺🌸🌼but we have a 60 foot chain link fence around the property and he dug his burrow right under it and he comes out every morning,the only time I bring him in is when we get tornado,hurricane,tropical storm watches and warnings or it drops below 50° but I live in Florida so not that cold,the lowest it's gotten here is 39°BYE TT🐢❤

    My little man (28 year old, barely 2 pound Hermann's) does the corner-digging / climbing when he's stressed out or otherwise unhappy. He used to be a burrower (as far as he could in the old cage) but he stopped hiding since he got his proper terrarium, maybe because it's got a roof, i don't know. Guy ignores his sleepy house, his sleepy cave and his sleepy garden - he sleeps in a corner under a plant. That doesn't reach him. Effectively he sleeps in the open. Bruh.

    Great facts, Caitlin. I do follow the Tortoise Whisperer, also, and have many of Ike's adventures. I find tortoises fascinating, but too much work for me in this stage of my life. You go for it, the world needs to know.

    Temptation is to get a tortoise 🐢 for myself . But it’s more realistic and responsible for me to enjoy your time on the TH-cam.
    I’m in the middle of kidding season at the farm. So time with work and the farm I’m stretch too the breaking point. In July I’m going to have surgery so for 6 weeks I’m planning on getting back to work on my own TH-cam channel. Caitlin you inspire this 63 year old batcher and for that I thank you.

    When I left him in my moms care for 2 days. Omg I felt him be so mad at me. He hid in his shell all the way in for a few days lol
    He was already warming up to me and would stick out. So I noticed the difference lol I talk to him alll the time to let him know he is sooo loved and happy to have him 🥹🥹

    Thank you, I've really learned a lot about Tiptoe and tortoises in general. I got a horse when I was 13, however, I've been riding horses since I was six. My grandfather being a carpenter was able to build me a small beautiful stable and the permit officer said it was built better than some of the houses near the barn. I'm sure you are the hit of the neighborhood with Tiptoe. I felt that same feeling of support from our neighbors with the horse. It pays to be a little different in having unique animals than your normal ones. I think staying with your old kennel that your dad fixed up is better than the new one especially on such short notice. But if the new one fits him comfortably maybe that would be better; definitely make sure of the measurements before you actually put him in it. This way if it doesn't fit right, you can return it and get your investment back. Always look forward to your videos. Loved the rehab center in Utah; that was amazing. Happy Memorial Day and a bow to any of your family that served in the military!

  • @Terminator2310
    @Terminator2310 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Great video Caitlin, and you are absolutely right, if people took the time to better aquaint themselves with animals, they would learn how they all are individuals, with feelings, fears and likes, we we are not the only creature with those attributes.

    I am a gardener. Your mother must be a fabulous person giving her precious blooms to Tiptoe. Your father, also, for building a tortoise habitat in their back yard. I would love to see you and Tiptoe interview your parents about their attitude toward animals that made them so kind to a cold-blooded animal.

    I have a dessert tortoise. His name is swifty. Was given to me by an elderly couple. He is 15yrs old and amazing. He loves my mom. She will go out to the backyard and call him. Says, time for hugs. Walks up to her. She picks him up. Obviously not as bog as tiptoe.higs him. He stares at her with such love. Then he just wonders off. They r so cute. He will cone up to the back door and let him in. He bangs around enjoys the a/c then scratches door to get out. He is very smart and has been dubbed the excavator. His borrow is massive 🐢

    I hope I don’t get a burrower. He’s only 9 months but I do hear him/her doing the same as tio toe lol and I feel so bad!!! I try to put him deep enough substrate but he manages to put it all around him lol
    You’re my inspiration!!! I hope my Burtie Apple grows to be as big and healthy as tip toe

    Love watching you're interactions; Learning a lot! ❤ We had a tortie park where they burrowed about 3-4' in the ground. When the weather changed, they were brought inside, sometimes sleeping under our pillows and hanging in the tub.. Wood "turtles". Of course they only grew over 1' so I could take my favorite to the dorms. You do an awesome job w the camera and sound..love ur channel ❤. 🐢

    Tiptoe is used to dogs. While tortoises may be solitary, Tiptoe’s world is more varied than average. Would he enjoy meeting other species of animals or is that a bad idea?

  • @annemariemartin4946
    @annemariemartin4946 ปีที่แล้ว

    TipToe is so cool. Caitlin have you thought of getting a professional photographer to take photos of TipToe? I am sure a lot of people would love to have a some type of picture of him. I am picturing a white background with a shot of just one of his front arms. The prehistoric like snails are amazing to look at. The color and texture is awesome!
