    A big part of my videos was my dog Tillman who recently passed away. I took a small break from posting longer videos like this but kept posting shorts here and there. But I’m back to posting and I’m sorry for the break. Next week I’ll be posting another video and will be more active 🐢💚

    My grandpa has a tortoise. Herbie’s just a few younger than he is, and they both act similar. This year Ol' Herb has turned 70, and since they didn’t know when Herb was born, they celebrate their birthdays on the same day.

      @TheTortoiseWhisperer  ปีที่แล้ว +20

      Very exciting! I'm not too sure why exactly but it's been about 2-3 years since she has laid. I did some research and it is believed that tortoises can lay fertile eggs up to four years after mating. 🐢

    I love watching your tortoises just hamming it up, especially Ike.
    Sunday, I went to the Overland Park (Kansas) Arbeteum. I saw a lot of koi in the large pond swimming upto the wooden bridge begging for food.
    Right in the midst were a couple of turtles (couldn' t tell whether they were snapping or box turtles). I think they were uneasy about being amongst the fish, and were trying to keep their distance. I think the koi couldn't care less about the koi.
    Just an fascinating sight to behold.

      Hello! So a good way to get them out of their holes is to slowly drip water down the hole for them to come up or even shine a light down the hole and they may come up to it. Many times have I thought a tortoise was stuck but in reality they are just hibernating or brumating in their hole.
