Hi. I found you through the 2 turtles on the roof, too. Lol. Love that the rescues are finally getting the attention & correct care. Keep up the great work!
Wow,,,you guys are awesome,,, I just ran across your video about the two tortoise' on the roof,,,, would like to hear their story,,,so I subscribed 💖 keep up t he great work ,,love it ,,,😉🐢
I am so glad that Teddy is feeling so much better, and eating lettuce, and soaked Missouri pellets. I am glad that the mucus is better. With your love, and dedication he has improved so much. I hope that his dehydration gets better. Cindy
I too found your channel through 2 turtles on the roof. I hope you will have updates on them. Broke my heart.😢 I am learning so much at 73 years old. New subscriber and follower. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.
@@joshuatreereptilehavenI clicked on the icon on the bottom right of the screen which expands the video to theater mode. Then I used two fingers to expand even more. I got a very good view.
This is amazing! I never knew tortoises had such personality, lol. I'm here because I saw you rescue the two from the roof. Thanks for the work you do!
Glad you rescued these wonderful creatures. It isn't often that I see something like this. I think they are beautiful and whoever left them there should be arrested.
Please , give teddy and tim tortoises 🐢 fresh watermelon 🍉 . They will love the taste and it has water in it too ! Thank-you , very kindly For Saving the two Beautiful , precious Tortoises 🐢 God Bless You 🙌 all
This is not Tim or Harold from the rooftop, this is Teddy another rescue here at our sanctuary 😊 We do not give the tortoises sugar as it destroys their gut flora. Sugar is not good for tortoises.
I guess people don’t read comments before they write, “where is Tim?” And I guess they don't pay attention to the obvious fact that this is a different tortoise. And I guess some folks are just rude, complaining about the distance of the camera. The internet creates many faux experts. My comment: this is a great, educational video. I learned a lot, and I am now interested in learning more.
I was one of the ones making a comment about the distance. Please don’t misunderstand. I did not intend it as any criticism. I’m truly interested and would like to be able to see what is going on. I respect the heck out of these people and what they do! I understand it is a lot of work that we do not see! Huge cudos to them!
@ Thank you, we greatly appreciate your support. This video was one from the beginning of our journey. We heed recommendations and we are still learning! Thank you for your patience! Feel free to surf the channel, the videos get better! 💚🐢
@@amyashlyn2999 You did make a considerately worded suggestion as well as a compliment; other folks were not as considerate. Sorry you were caught up in my own snarky comment!
This is great news. My Hermann has not touched the Mazuri LS and I have been hiding it in other food, he ignores it and I have just about used the whole bag. I will try the other and see if I have better luck. Thank you, you are a wealth of knowledge and I greatly appreciate you. 😊
The 2 turtles on the roof was obviously a draw, I was so glad you were able to rescue them. I subscribed after watching that, and sent it to my husband and I think he also subscribed. Thank you for sharing your sanctuary.❤
You do an awesome job. I love the educational aspect! I wish you could zoom in so we could see what you are doing better. No judgement, just interested enough to want to see! Thanks! 😊
@@amyashlyn2999 Thank you! ☺️ This was one of our first videos we made over 7 months ago. We have since heeded the recommendation and changed the filming. We are still learning ☺️ But feel free to surf our channel revealing up close videos and shorts!
Love your channel! I live in Holland, Europe. Very informative, beautiful scenery, and great sulcatas! My sulcata has (dunno if it's correct) 5-6-5 schieldplates instead of 4-5-4. He was tiny and dehydrated when I met him 2,5 years ago. Also a leopard (getting BIG) and a horsfieldii share the room of their own.
Those Tortoises are so fortunate that they didnt have to waste away on that roof!! Thankyou so much for your care of them.❤ would love to see them together. Do you have a female tortoise you could interest them in?
@@joshuatreereptilehaventhat makes perfect sense. Is there possibly a sterile female that could give them company? I don't know tortiouses so I'm learning.
You volunteer your time to care for all your rescues...i wouldn't bother answering comments from people who dont subscribe to your channel and watch all your videos so they would know who is who and appreciate the care you put into these precious animals. As for the video quality, its perfectly fine, people need to stop complaining and learn to zoom in 🤨
@@fishingwoman1723 Hello! Thank you for watching! Yes 🙌 this video was taken of our member Teddy over 7 months ago when we first started filming our sanctuary. Since then we have learned different tricks and qualities. We are however still learning so we appreciate your patience. I believe this is one of very few that were too far away! Thank you for your support! 💚🐢
It would be so great to see what you are describing. Have you guys never recorded a video before? Are you not aware that at this distance you cannott see a thing? Yes, you guys are wonderful people for caring for these creatures, but please learn to position your camera so we can all enjoy watching him enjoy his breakfast!
@ Thank you. This video is of Teddy another rescue here at our sanctuary. This video was taken over 7 months ago when we first started. We have since learned other techniques for video quality. ☺️
Hi...ex- veterinarian here...is there any way you can mix in a bit of pumkin; raw, canned or shredded; it will help move the food he eats & he will poop...it also.helps with eyesight & he might actually love it.❤
Hydration, frequent soaks and we also use unrefined cold press coconut oil to help rehydrate the keratin. The damage is not reversible but we can prevent more damage by caring for them properly 😊
I found you through the tortoise on the roof and love what you are doing. I got Mazuri for my Hermann and trying to get him to eat it, he like mixed greens and small amount of cucumber, I will keep trying. How can we donate to your rescue? ❤
@@beckybarnett6482 yes just be persistent and patient, your hermanns will eat it, our do! If you would like to donate, please visit our website at www.joshuatreereptilehaven.org and click on donate! The tortoises appreciate you and so do we!! ☺️
Sorry to jump in this conversation, but what kind of Mazuri is ok for a Hermann's tortoise? Because I can't find any, since Hermann's tortoise diet is made of dandelion, clover, and other low calorie, high calcium low phosphorus leaves. Lattuce as a treat, and absolutely avoid grains and legumes, veggies like tomatoes, eggplants, fruits high in sugars (a small piece once a month is ok). I've never found a pellet that is species appropriate.
@kiko7247 Mazuri Original 5M21 is a fantastic food. They have a LS Blend (low starch) that on paper looks better, lower starch = lower protein. However it is not liked by many Torts and won’t be eaten by many. Original Mazuri has been fed by Zoos and commercial animal facilities for decades with great results. There are some who claim that it has too much protein…… well if so where is the complaints or problems with Torts being fed this blend for almost 40 years? There isn’t any, and MANY Zoos still feed Original over LS. Variety is more important than ’what’ a single food has to offer or not offer.
Could you please speak up or move the microphone closer so I can hear what you're saying, I'm very interested in your work with the tortoises!! Thank you!!😊
@@emvee6959 we did not have to use IV fluids from the vet as we were able to soak, use iceburg lettuce to rehydrate. It worked. He is now well hydrated ☺️
I'm reading some very rude and insensitive comments in this section. This is a rescue, and they are learning on the go how to film and edit. This is not a Netflix show. I am very sorry guys, all I want to say is that this video is valuable and very interesting, no matter how far the camera is. That's not the main point here. The point is that Teddy is feeling better thanks to your amazing care.
Why can't you bring the camera closer? You are both tiny on my phone screen...unable to enlarge. Info is great, but we want to see this sweet turtle.Thanks.
Video je fajn, ale kamera je strašně daleko. Budete mít více sledujících, když na vašich záběrech bude vidět, jak ta želva baští, a ne jen vzdálený obrys. Je to fakt škoda.🧐😪
@@dthompson9568 we soak Teddy, along with all of our other land giants in a 190 gallon stock tank! We also have an outdoor propane hot water heater specifically for the tortoises to have nice warm soaks! ☺️
Kale, arugala, butter lettuce, etc, that are greener, are nutritious whole food and contain water. Why not feed them to Teddy instead of the iceberg lettuce?
@@sidneymcfadden3857 Teddy is fed all of the above, we only use iceburg to help hydrate. Iceburg is not nutritional in any way but makes an excellent source of water intake. ☺️
@joshuatreereptilehaven Other nutritional greens also have lots of water content. Why waste food intake on iceberg when time better spent on nuttient rich greens that also have high water content? The more natural, nutrient dense food, the better for all of us. Mazuri ingredients are not ideal. All wheat, soy and corn crops are very toxic. So GM'd that current crops are not natural. Soy, unless organic and fermented, is toxic. Research to confirm this. Pet foods are loaded with cheap ingredients but unhealthy. Just because the manufacturer put grains in cat food, for example, doesn't mean an obligate carnivore thrives on anything but animal protein and animals fat, in the wild. Feed cats grains they suffer and die from IBD and diabetes, both unnatural and preventable. What does a tortoise inherently eat in the wild? Not processed Mazuri pellets laden with toxic wheat, soy and corn , carrageenan, anf synthetic vitamins lsuch as Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Vitamin K). I appreciate and respect your devotion to providing Teddy and the others, a life of optimal health and love. My comment is not a criticism. It's to serve as supportive information that you can verify yourself. Organic whole food is the most natural and, thus, optimally life-sustaining choice for ALL of us. 💚
I wish you could manipulate your camera to see the tortoise eating. All you can see is shadows. Would be nice to see the actual face of the tortoise. Not just hearing.
@@welchsusan8444 we apologize this was from 7 months ago when we first started our filming and we have since learned some ins and outs. Thank you for your patience ☺️🐢💚
I stayed with my uncle for a couple of months because he had surgery and I had to take care of him and his daughter I used to cook dinner every night for my family so when I went to my uncle's house and cook dinner they didn't know what to think I don't know what their life was like before I got there but one night I made homemade spaghetti and I put in onions and mushrooms and spices and tomatoes and made my great-niece a plate and she said oh yeah I don't like onions I don't like mushrooms I said have you ever tried them she said no I just don't like them I said what you could either eat that or go without for the rest of the night it's funny she tried it and she liked it.. I told her every time you come across something you've never had at least take three big bites that way you know if you like it or not open your mind
@@kimfick8959 yes that is correct. It isn’t that it’s bad for them as it has no nutritional value. BUT, we use the iceburg in this situation for hydration value only! Sometimes you have to be crafty! ☺️
@@kimfick8959 Spinach isn’t recommended so if you have to feed that, then do it sparingly. You can use greens like romaine, kale, mustard greens, red and green leaf lettuce. You can add some veggies like squash, zucchini, carrots. Also we highly recommend you use Mazuri Tortoise Diet pellets. They have a full spectrum of nutrients! ☺️
@@lilianagraflazarevic5077 Yes Mazuri Tortoise Diet, they are pellets and have a full spectrum of nutrients. We use many different greens along with vegetables, however we do not give fruit as the sugars in the fruit destroy the gut flora.

I was told iceberg lettuce wasn't good for them. Long leafy lettuce is the best
@@kimfick8959 yes that is correct. It isn’t that it’s bad for them as it has no nutritional value. BUT, we use the iceburg in this situation for hydration value only! Sometimes you have to be crafty! ☺️
@joshuatreereptilehaven we give ours long leafy lettuce and they love bell peppers and spinach
@@kimfick8959 Spinach isn’t recommended so if you have to feed that, then do it sparingly. You can use greens like romaine, kale, mustard greens, red and green leaf lettuce. You can add some veggies like squash, zucchini, carrots. Also we highly recommend you use Mazuri Tortoise Diet pellets. They have a full spectrum of nutrients! ☺️
Wheres Tim the turle?
@@marquettawagle1358 This is a special needs Sulcata we have here at our sanctuary named Teddy.
❤❤❤
Missouri is what kind of food? Can eat all vegetables and fruits,they need it!
Mazuri Tortoise Pellets. Made by the Mazuri company.
@@lilianagraflazarevic5077 Yes Mazuri Tortoise Diet, they are pellets and have a full spectrum of nutrients. We use many different greens along with vegetables, however we do not give fruit as the sugars in the fruit destroy the gut flora.

You should soak them both in a small kiddie pool. I know they would enjoy the soak. 😊
Make a pond please
@@charlotterawlins6587 We have 3 ponds here at the sanctuary for our rescued turtles 🐢 ☺️
@joshuatreereptilehaven thanks for being wonderful people. From Australia.

Hard to see feeding, too far away
