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 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.
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.
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.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
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 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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 🐢
Hey man, just wondering if you take any tortoises in? I know someone that wants to get rid of their tortoise. Tbh, that tortoise isn’t well taken care of. He’s healthy and all but where he is kept is not a good space for a tortoise his size. I watch your videos all the time, and I’m also in Arizona. So just thought I would ask. Thanks.
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
❤❤wow, so glad my tortoise, Mekon, is a male. Would not know what I'd do with a female. You're fortunate that they like hay, our tortoise will not eat it.. but does graze on lawn grass... and very picky. Is that normal, or is he just spoiled?? I learn a lot from youe videos, thank you!!
He may be a little spoiled but all my babies are spoiled as well haha that just means you love them! I’m sure he is eating healthy but if there is hay out for him to graze on I’m sure he would get a routine going and eat on the hay 😁🐢
Do you have any tips? My tortoises (2) we are moving and we need them to come out of the hide hole to take them with us. I could really use any help. Thank you!!!!!
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.
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?
Hi. I am raising ivory seolgata and albino seolgata in Korea. I have a question, can you give me an answer? When individuals like albino seolgata crossbreed, what kind of individual will babies be born? What kind of individual will be born between albino seolgata and ivory seolgata? I am very curious about two things.
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!
Please support our @sapputheturtle
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
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.
I am amazed at the sheer volume of food they eat!!!
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
I love this channel so much, the love and care is amazing!!
Sorry for your loss, I always enjoyed your dog in the videos, glad you are back posting I missed you, have a Merry Christmas
It looks like their smell is excellent. I never would have thought
❤❤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..
❤❤❤❤❤❤
So sorry for ur loss of ur doggy nice hearing ur voice again
I am amazed at the dexterity of these big creatures!
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!
fr, i watch his channel all the time and i watch his videos when i’m sad and then i’m in a happy cheerful mood! 😊
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 😂
So very sorry for your loss of Tillman. He was a special pup.
Lettuce, zucchini, bananas, cantaloupe, and spring greens? Shoo, that sounds like a pretty good salad! I'd eat that.
That crunch sound of damia eating the cactus pad is so satisfying 😂 keep up the amazing work with keeping this species alive!
At 2:25 *sniff* " OH YEAH VEGETABLES CRUNCH MY FAVORITE" i like that part and by the way i like turtle and tortoise :)
Sorry for your loss. I was never interested in tortoises’ diet until I came to your channel. Thanks for the great content.
I’ve said this numerous times and I stand by it still. Ike is a UNIT.
Ike is so sweet and well tempered 💚 and i can see how much you love him, Ike and Damia are my favs 😃🫶🏻
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.
RIP Tillman you and Ike were the best of friends😭😔
I can't even imagine how much energy it would take to dig all that dirt!
Missed you cousin. Glad you’re back. Sorry for losing Tillman.
Congrats to Damia.
Merry Xmas
The babies are so cute! I have a pet turtle now and named it Squirtle and I love him so much :D!
This dude's positivity is infectious. These videos are so chill
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!!!
Tortoises are the most skilled patient animals in the world, I would not be able to dig a burrow like that
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

You treat your tortoises so amazing thank you for being so kind to animals :)
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! 😁🐢
What a wonderful video. I had to check the date to be sure I'm current. How exciting to have eggs!! Yay!!!
2:32 bro is all ready tasting it 😂😂😂
Love your tortoises, I missed them since the last video❤
Just adorable my marginated is just 2 years old and i can spend ages watching her eat they are just so fascinating 😊😊😊
I love watching your tortoises just hamming it up, especially Ike.

Awww, so cute, Loved Turtles😍😍😍
i genuinely missed your videos 😭😭 when i heard ‘IKE’ i screamed because it’s been so long since i’ve heard about him 🥹
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 know so much work goes into caring for these Buddies
But bro is living the dream
i honestly think the rescue tortoises should get more screen time. they're just so cute, but very underrated.
Ike’s got a whole tunnel to himself. I didn’t know they dug that Much
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
They’re sooo cute!! Especially when they’re all eating together
Really surprised to see how deep she laid her eggs. Those poor little hatchlings have quite the job digging themselves out.
I love that I found your channel and its super cool that you've got 35s flying around ya. 🐢
This guy is going to have a million babies running around. IKE must be the father of all the babies.
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.
8 whole months of wait for the legend to return
Bro, that was nice 👍.
RIP Tillman🙏
Please do more vids like this❤
The babies are so cuuute >_
I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t expecting the surprise F-35 appearance
tortoises are so cute
Love this channel 🐢

ok, long time no see, im happy to see again the tortoise
Dose Ike have any foods he really likes?
Oh yeah his favorite is Spineless Cactus! He loves it!! 🌵🐢
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
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 🐢
We need to get this guy 5 million more subs
Do the tips work for turtles?
Wow, what a full time job!!
Ike is the alpha. He gets his own crib.
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.😊
Where do you get your cacti pieces? Here in the area? We are right near white tank in Waddell area 😊
Sorry for your loss rip doggie Tillman
He loves them so much
Awesome. Do you feed them like this every day for many turtles? I have one turtle. I feed it 1-2 times a day.
Beautiful!!!❤❤
Hey just wanted to say congrats on damia for laying eggs.
P.S love your vids and please comet me back
hfvjm
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?
This is really helpful because I’m getting a tortoise

RIP TILLMAN ❤😔
Do you live in AZ? Just saw that f22 raptor and I always see them fly by whenever I go down surprise and 303 area.

HAPPY 100 VIDEOS ❤❤❤❤
I think I just found my new favorite channel-
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?
❤❤wow, so glad my tortoise, Mekon, is a male. Would not know what I'd do with a female. You're fortunate that they like hay, our tortoise will not eat it.. but does graze on lawn grass... and very picky. Is that normal, or is he just spoiled?? I learn a lot from youe videos, thank you!!
