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 🐢💚
Rest well Tillman!!
So sorry for your loss. RIP Tillman.
As someone who lost their dog recently, I understand the feeling. I hope Tillman didn’t suffer
Sorry for your loss, every one of our pets is family. Fur or shell, they are all are a big part of our lives.
I'm sorry for your loss. ❤️
so sorry for your loss of doggie Tillman. RIP sweet boy. Glad you took a break. So good to hear your friendly voice and see your lovely tortoises!
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.
That’s literally so cute 😭 I hope to adopt a tortoise one day and emulate this 💗
Amazing! My dad actually got Ike my 48 year old tortoise when Ike was a hatchling! So he has been in the family longer than me haha
@@TheTortoiseWhisperer My grandpa said that if he croaks before Herb, my dad would be the one to take care of Herb. Herb’s a Leopard tortoise, and his favorite food is cabbage or strawberries.
🐢
Its so adorable watching them eat lol
I’ve said this numerous times and I stand by it still. Ike is a UNIT.
Glad that you're back.👍missed hearing you say "hey buddy"!🤗
RIP Tillman🌻🌼💐🐕 such a happy doggie with his toys! They say they greet us again at our time 🌈. You will always hold him in your heart 'til then. Him too.
How exciting for Damia to resume laying. Any theories why? It can't be lack of TLC or nutrition, etc. Your tortoises are surely loved.
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. 🐢
So do you leave the eggs where she buried them? @@TheTortoiseWhisperer
They really just decide when they want to lay eggs 😂
Sorry for your loss, I always enjoyed your dog in the videos, glad you are back posting I missed you, have a Merry Christmas
So very sorry for your loss of Tillman. He was a special pup.
You’re such a great Tortoise Daddy! I’ve been calling my dog “buddy” since I started watching your vids. It’s touching to see how well you take care of them
❤❤Love it❤❤
Always Fun to see their sweet smiling happy faces
You take such great care of them all
I am very impressed and enjoy all your videos and all your tortoise family
So sorry for your loss of Tillman..
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't even imagine how much energy it would take to dig all that dirt!
They are so cute and adorable. Watching these literally can change your mood from the worst to the absolute most amazing. Keep up with the good work and friendship with your friends!
Lettuce, zucchini, bananas, cantaloupe, and spring greens? Shoo, that sounds like a pretty good salad! I'd eat that.
RIP Tillman you and Ike were the best of friends😭😔
Rest in Puppy Paradise Tillman ❤🐾 I loved getting to see him in all your videos, it felt like he was my friend too 💕 I loved how much he played with his Woody toy. I will always remember him. I hope you’re doing okay now, and letting yourself grieve as you need to. Sending love and hugs to you and all the pets!!!
Ike is so sweet and well tempered 💚 and i can see how much you love him, Ike and Damia are my favs 😃🫶🏻
No video would be complete with a hey buddy !!!
There’s definitely a few in there haha 😁🐢
@TheTortoiseWhisperer How many tortoises do u have and do u know any thing about russian tortoises and how to shave his beak down
i genuinely missed your videos 😭😭 when i heard ‘IKE’ i screamed because it’s been so long since i’ve heard about him 🥹
Missed you cousin. Glad you’re back. Sorry for losing Tillman.
Congrats to Damia.
Merry Xmas
I am amazed at the dexterity of these big creatures!
Awww, so cute, Loved Turtles😍😍😍
Sorry for your loss. I was never interested in tortoises’ diet until I came to your channel. Thanks for the great content.
Sad for your loss!! missed the vids, welcome, glad to see the turtles!
Ike’s got a whole tunnel to himself. I didn’t know they dug that Much
I just discovered your channel and love it! Tortoises are my favorite animals! Sorry to hear about your pup. They're family members and it can hurt to lose one.
I am amazed at the sheer volume of food they eat!!!
Finnally after 8 months!
Edit: I just got to know your dog past away that's why you took a break from posting long videos I'm feeling so sad for your dog and you may his soul fly high ❤️ rip Tillman
That crunch sound of damia eating the cactus pad is so satisfying 😂 keep up the amazing work with keeping this species alive!
The babies are so cute! I have a pet turtle now and named it Squirtle and I love him so much :D!
Love your tortoises, I missed them since the last video❤
It looks like their smell is excellent. I never would have thought
I love this channel so much, the love and care is amazing!!
Please do more vids like this❤
Bro, that was nice 👍.
RIP Tillman🙏
Really surprised to see how deep she laid her eggs. Those poor little hatchlings have quite the job digging themselves out.
8 whole months of wait for the legend to return
i honestly think the rescue tortoises should get more screen time. they're just so cute, but very underrated.
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.
They’re sooo cute!! Especially when they’re all eating together
Dose Ike have any foods he really likes?
Oh yeah his favorite is Spineless Cactus! He loves it!! 🌵🐢
I know so much work goes into caring for these Buddies
But bro is living the dream
Just adorable my marginated is just 2 years old and i can spend ages watching her eat they are just so fascinating 😊😊😊
What a wonderful video. I had to check the date to be sure I'm current. How exciting to have eggs!! Yay!!!
I love learning about your tortoises. Not too sure if you have a video on all your animals, ages, and how they came to your rescue.
I love that I found your channel and its super cool that you've got 35s flying around ya. 🐢
tortoises are so cute
So sorry for ur loss of ur doggy nice hearing ur voice again
Nice to see you back posting again. Watching along with my lil Hermann's on my lap
That's amazing haha thank you so much for the support! 😁🐢
The babies are so cuuute >_
Sorry to hear about Tillman. When we watched this video, before we saw your comment, my toddler daughter asked "Where's Tillman?" (your videos get watched a lot here and are often requested). We'll miss him and we're sorry for your loss.
We need to get this guy 5 million more subs
At 2:25 *sniff* " OH YEAH VEGETABLES CRUNCH MY FAVORITE" i like that part and by the way i like turtle and tortoise :)
I love them all so much
He loves them so much
I love watching these videos. I love turtles. I want to get one but have no idea where to start or what kind to get.😊
Im sorry about Tillman, he was a great co-host. I'll always remember him carrying his Woody, he was a hoot. Im actually wondering what do you with all the little babies? There must be so many
2:32 bro is all ready tasting it 😂😂😂
HES BACK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I think I just found my new favorite channel-
hi love your videos i have been watching sine i was 8 now am 11
Wow thank you so much for the support!!! 😁🐢
HAPPY 100 VIDEOS ❤❤❤❤
Sorry to hear about Tillman. He was a great dog and a feature of many of your videos. But I am glad you took the time you needed.
On a side note, damn. Did not expect the F-35 flyby.
Love this channel 🐢
ok, long time no see, im happy to see again the tortoise
Please give me recommendations.
I live here in phx. I have a male (10) and female (9) recently my male has become very aggressive with my female, biting her face, legs, being a bully. I’ve had to separate them. Any suggestions? I want to keep them together. Have you encountered this behavior?
Thank you!
Hello! So this does happen often when the males are trying to find another tortoise to breed with and they can get pretty aggressive. I would separate them if he is doing things like flipping her over. But slowly getting them used to each other by giving them meals together and slowly spending time with each other will help 🐢
I love your videos.
bro i love turtles so mutch
This guy is going to have a million babies running around. IKE must be the father of all the babies.
😊i also have a tortoises
I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t expecting the surprise F-35 appearance
Sorry for your loss rip doggie Tillman
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had wondered where he was, especially when getting ike out.
Competely separately, did you eat the spinach yourself?
Amazing😮Tortoise🐢👏👏👏💕
RIP TILLMAN ❤😔
Do the tips work for turtles?
beautiful adult sulcata. Originally wild caught or captive bred?
Turtles!
Love the content
I have a Burmese stars tortoise and sometimes I get lost on what to feed her and was curious if you can maybe make it a little easier for me your videos are a help. but doesn’t matter that it’s a different species of tortoise on what they eat
Could you please list the names of all your tortoises?
So at the top of my head I can think of, Ike, Damia, Demi, Francy, Gertie, Dino, Dozer, Rhino, and Linus, and Baby Ike (baby tortoise). The others we’re gonna have to come up names with 😁🐢
I love turtles
I just discovered your channel, love at first sight for both me and my partner. I noticed the small concrete stomp Ike had to go through to get into the backyard with the ladies. I noticed he seemed to have some minor difficulty getting over it and scratching his belly. Do you think adding a small ramp might be a good addition for their quality of life when moving around? Obviously you know more than me, I'm curious to hear your take
Bwaddy 🐢
Wow, what a full time job!!
i love you😍
Hello, I’m sorta new to your channel, and I need a bit of advice, do you know how to properly care for a Leopard Tortoise? And would cactus be good for her?
They tortoise whisperer I hope you see this but i have some store products for you to make some
1. A picture of an African sulcata tortoise phone case
2. A picture of an African sulcata tortoise shirt?
3. A backpack?
4. A good one could be a hat
That is it if you make any of those i would buy❤️🐢
Kitna Mayne main baby hota hai ? ? I ❤️ very excited 😊😊😊
Hey just wanted to say congrats on damia for laying eggs.
P.S love your vids and please comet me back
BIG IKEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ike is the alpha. He gets his own crib.
Where are you located sir? My wife and I have been looking into getting a tortoise for a while now. Also, do you have any contact information?
What about predators? How to you protect them? And do the big ones like Ike have to worry about that?
So as for the baby tortoises when they go in their outdoor enclosure, they have safe tops that goes over their enclosure. But we don’t have any predators that mess with the big tortoises 🐢
Awesome. Do you feed them like this every day for many turtles? I have one turtle. I feed it 1-2 times a day.
How often do you feed them?
Where do you get your cacti pieces? Here in the area? We are right near white tank in Waddell area 😊
I had a question, I just yesterday got a baby sulcata tortoise. He hasn’t eaten anything and from what I have seen hasn’t drinking anything. He kinda slept all day. Is this normal?
Hey, I recently rescued a 38 year old eastern box turtle named Tucker. What is the best food I can give him and what are the best enrichment activities for him? He is very shy considering he was abused before I rescued him. I want him to be safe and healthy. You are the best person I can think of to ask this.
Yay
