    The other day I got some UNBELIEVABLE footage of my tortoise laying eggs. We also went around and fed ALL the tortoises and put the GoPro on Ike for the day!

      Saw on internet that many species of turtles and tortoises are becoming extinct everywhere. Thanx to the Tortois Whisperer and others around the world trying to breed them and put them back in their natural habitats. On a Galapagos Island, they lost over 200,000 of 1 species, and only one turtle left until he dies of old age.

    The way you talk to them, hand feed them, house them, and generally provide such good care for them shows how much you truly love them. It's very commendable and I admire you for it.
    I grew up in Southern Arizona in the 1960s and 1970s. As kids friends and I frequently spent time in the undeveloped desert around our homes. It was a real treat to find a tortoise in the desert. We didn't run across them very often so we would play hide & seek with them (watch them retract and come out as we touch their heads, feed them what we could find and just enjoy their special company for 5 to 10 minutes before shove off to our next adventure. My mother also kept a tortoise in the back yard (it is 30'x90'), loved it and cared for it the way you do. She thought it ran off the first winter not knowing that they burrow. She was delighted when it came out of hibernation in the spring.
    Really cool videos I really like how you interact with them and how they respond to you and to your touch. Amazing!

    Question... I’m not able to get a tortoise from you, but if I were able to would it have to stay outdoors like yours do?

  • @cheesenipspartymix

    Do they actually taste the food and show a preference for it? I noticed with dragonfruit most of them seemed sussed out by the strange white color but excited by the red! Then when they tried it they seemed to really like how soft the inside was. So do you think they prefer soft texture, smell, looks, or taste? Would love to see a video of you giving them all sorts of food in a tournament to see which is their favorite!

    • @TheTortoiseWhisperer
      @TheTortoiseWhisperer  4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I would put some timothy hay in his enclosure so it can graze on "grass" anytime it wants to. Timothy hay is a great replacement for grass for indoor tortoises. Also I would definitely recommend considering getting another friend for him. Usually when there are two tortoises, it brings out their personality a lot more and they tend to "compete" for your attention.

    For those people: “tortoises are in fact turtles, they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia, “reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell” but not all turtles are tortoises. They live in a variety of habitats, from deserts to wet tropical forests. tortoises don’t have much to do with water other than drinking it and occasionally bathing in it and are land creatures only.”
