@@caitlinandtiptoe you ever take him to beach to swim or he cant go to beach because he swim away never to be seen again? what about women I'm sure he or she got needs right dumb question is it a women or man? there only some much you can do with him how long will he or she live for? maybe he be better off in zoo instead with others like him
@@MsSugercrispummmm I can see you don't know much about his reproduction. And he will live 80 to 100 years and arguably is in better health than any I've seen in a zoo. Zoos are really not greta environments but that's a whole different story. Tiptoe is naturally solitary its normal.
He is well fed. Well cared for. He obviously loves his mommy. Then there is that great living in Southern California. How could he not grow to be a big happy boy?
He was still a chunky boy when he was “tiny”. You could tell he was aiming to grow up and be a linebacker or a sumo tortoise. He even practices his end zone dance when he eats grass or fights a bush. He’s definitely a beefy boy that’s always smiling. Absolutely love Sir Tiptoe!
Our 30+ year old tortoise is a handful as well. Most tortoises are a lot of work. You have to do the homework and think in advance about what you will do with your pet. We have an Amazon Yellow footed.
Always good to see Tiptoe in his home environment. By now, he definitely is part of your family. Your whole family is involved in looking after Tiptoe. Your grandfather built him a house and a very nice house for him. Your Dad takes care of any shots that he needs whenever he gets sick. It's nice that the neighbors know of him and that helps should he get out of his yard. Your yard is definitely for Tiptoe. It's quite unique that the inside of his house has those things that you can monitor for his well being. And it's great that he can go out of his house when he wants. Thank you for your posts as they are interesting. The best to you and yours!
Love the way you take care of Tiptoe. So glad you decided not to rehome him. No one will ever love him more than you, and he's been with you so long I don't think he would do too well with someone new. Have you ever thought about getting him a mate? Like borrowing a big female from someone? Just wondering 🤔 ❤
This types of tortoise is huge. Pet stores tend to not know ir or not tell the truth. You are special because you kept him and ❤him and he didn't get tossed or left to die❤. It's obvious he loves you guys❤. Mine will only get up to 15 lbs max and that's all I (grandma) can handle😊. You are awesome ❤
Great video to start my Saturday morning! Watching you and Tiptoe, has helped my depression. So thank you Caitlin for sharing your story and your life wth Tiptoe with all of us. So much love and respect from Minnesota. 🐢💜✌
I m so glad to catch up with Tiptoe and his hooman family this Saturday, the first day of July, 2023. It was interesting and enjoyable to hear about Tiptoe’s and Caitlin’s history together. One thing that stood out for me is what Caitlin said about tortoises not being so much different than humans in their needs, social interests, emotional expressions. That is a lovely thought. Thanks for the latest update on what’s going on in the life of Tiptoe and Mom, Caitlin and extended family. Peace and Blessings everyone! ☮️💟👍🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
He thrived on all of the love your family gave him. As teachers, we know that love and acceptance is important for children to grow and the same applies to animals. You've thrived on his love too! Thank you always for sharing your sweet boy.
He will never be "Just a Tortoise" He has so much character and he is (quite literally,) a massive star and a major part of your life. The importance of pets can never be over-stated, they give so much back and are worth every penny and every second that we put into them. He is also almost the same weight as my two Bernese Mountain Dogs combined, which is astonishing to think about.
Tiptoe's giant heart makes him the most unique amazing tortoise. Although it is surely a lot of work, what a gift to have a lifelong friend to grow with. Love you guys! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
As a Canadian living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It's so cool seeing exotic pets like this...TipToe is one lucky Tortoise having such amazing care..Great job and good for you!
In this mean world, it's nice to be able to tune into a kind person out there.💛💚🧡 Btw, I would bet that Tiptoe would LOVE for you to give him two or three potato chips.💝👍 July 1, 2023
I'm so happy you didn't re-home him. Who knows what feelings he might have experienced. Tiptoe is the best friend you'll ever have. Love watching him and you for explaining and teaching all of us. Love from Ohio.
I'm in love with you. Not because you are beautiful, but because of how much you love TipToe. I have a bunny, recently lost our other bunny, but we are in the works for another rescue bun. LOVE.
I can so relate, i lost my dog in 2020 and he had such a beautiful soul, made us laugh and he made us feel like actual parents. we miss him so much. Tiptoe has done the same for you- your videos make me smile
it's great you didn't give him up. my sister and her husband literally found and rescued a similar tortoise. they struggle all the time but you can see he is so happy. Donatello by the way. 😊 thank you for posting.
I love that you love all your animal friends and specialy the most important one since he is your costar TipTow. I hope you all the best and Thank You for sharing.
A huge tortoise got loose in Scottsdale early Saturday Morning, 600 pounds, we kept him out of the road until help came, Great animals but very headstrong haha
I just luv the way you truly adore & love this precious animal. Makes me sad to think someone else would ever get him. They will NEVER ❤️ him like YOU DO.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
There is no such thing as just a tortoise. Just like there is no such thing as just a human. You both have imprinted yourselves on and within each other. It's a rare relationship that you each have with each other. So very unique and wholesome to watch your content .
I've watched some of your other videos but always wondered about the "history" of Tiptoe. Thanks for this one, it explains why he's such a happy tortoise! And you've done the right thing from the start. After realizing that he was not going to remain small, you did your research and gave him all that he needed to thrive. I have a box turtle who I consider my "comfort animal" (chuckle chuckle since turtles aren't cuddly like dogs!) and I can understand how he has made a positive impact on your life and you on his! Keep producing those videos...he's a star!
TipToe is a wonderful animal & it seems that he's an even better Pet, who is communicating on an enjoyable level. Pets can teach us about life & our behavior, Tip Toe can input Patience into anyone, who spends time with him. I think he should be a major Ambassador for the USA in the Animal World & he might light like the fame, time would tell. WE the People thank you immensely, for the wonderful job you have done, in showing Love to this guy, you are a great ambassador yourself.
Cute, loving overview. Thank you for sharing. Totally agree about mental health, learning from animal friends, andc remembering self care. Thanks again
The love and attention you give definitely shows how well not only he is growing but you as well!! Good job can't wait to see what trouble the two of you get into. Bet it's unique!
I just love everything about him! He's got a content, happy little face and seems to really enjoy his life! I'm a bit jealous though, cuz I think his neck looks better than mine!
I recently realized that my buddy is in fact a sulcata not a California desert tort as I was PROMISEDDD by the rescue I got him from I knew about sulcatas and how big a requirement they are and emphasized that I did not want one as I couldn’t care for one all then I did my research on California desert torts and as he’s gotten older he’s not looking the part and he’s big for just a five year old. Looking at markings and such he’s def a sulcata which FREAKED me out luckily I had stumbled upon your channel before the realization which I have now started binge watching and I want to thank you so much your info has given me more than enough information to know what to do going forward I’m much more confident going forward in my journey with my soon to no longer be little man who thanks to you I will not be rehoming so from both speedy and me thank you so much! 🥰
That is just amazingly awesome .I hope tip toe is with us for as long as you need him to be . What a unique and awesome story and I am glad he's always had you around family is family and God is to man is what man is to animal . I'll be checking on our boy from here out . Your a good mom . God bless
His rapid growth is probably due to the EXCELLENT care and love he received. Love you T! God Bless!
fast growth due to sunshine cute ladies around him.
@@caitlinandtiptoe I suppose there is some connotations of 'big' that were selling this video.....
@@caitlinandtiptoe you ever take him to beach to swim or he cant go to beach because he swim away never to be seen again?
what about women I'm sure he or she got needs right
dumb question is it a women or man?
there only some much you can do with him
how long will he or she live for?
maybe he be better off in zoo instead with others like him

So very happy that you never "rehomed" Tiptoe. He is truly a huge part of your family.....he is picture perfect and only belongs with you!
I can't even imagine the level of regret if we had... lucky family over here!
I'm not surprised he keeps growing. You feed him so well.
He is well fed. Well cared for. He obviously loves his mommy. Then there is that great living in Southern California. How could he not grow to be a big happy boy?
It's a good thing her YT channel took off. It must cost a fortune to feed him.
of course look he's so happy. ooh whats that she has greens !.. oh look something else, big pepper!
Do you clean under his shell and what is that black Lacey stuff hanging down from his rear end it's 9 in Colorado😊
She keeps me growing too
Tip Toe is still adorable.
He’s not just a tortoise. He is wonderful. He’s your baby. I have a yellow bellied slider. He’s my world
He was still a chunky boy when he was “tiny”. You could tell he was aiming to grow up and be a linebacker or a sumo tortoise. He even practices his end zone dance when he eats grass or fights a bush. He’s definitely a beefy boy that’s always smiling. Absolutely love Sir Tiptoe!
hahahahahaha i audibly lolled
Nobody would give T the love and care you have given him.
Aww, 'Tiny Tiptoe' and 'Tiny Caitlin' are sooo cute! 😊
Our 30+ year old tortoise is a handful as well. Most tortoises are a lot of work. You have to do the homework and think in advance about what you will do with your pet. We have an Amazon Yellow footed.
Tiptoe is a precious little boy
Tiptoe is adorable and you truly care for him
How does that fence keep Tiptoe contained,,, He lets it lol. You and Tiptoe provide so many people with smiles. Thank you.

Caitlin, thanks for sharing this incredible journey of Tiptoe’s life with you.
I'm in love with you. Not because you are beautiful, but because of how much you love TipToe. I have a bunny, recently lost our other bunny, but we are in the works for another rescue bun. LOVE.
He is a joy! Your love and amazing feedings are the reason. 💜💙❤️
You provide TipTipoe the best life any tortoise could ask for. You are a great mommy for him. ❤
I can so relate, i lost my dog in 2020 and he had such a beautiful soul, made us laugh and he made us feel like actual parents.
we miss him so much.
Tiptoe has done the same for you-

Tiptoe is a very cool boy! Your relationship is amazing! ❤️🔷❤️👍🏻

He has a heart on his chest!!!
The respect and love this woman has for her tortoise is very touching
Every Christmas with Tiptoe is a gift of love forever 🌲🐢👱♀️💕
Like others have said Tiptoe is so loved. Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy that a sulcata is getting good care. Many adopt as you did, but few are so good about their care.
I love that you love all your animal friends and specialy the most important one since he is your costar TipTow. I hope you all the best and Thank You for sharing.
Tip Toe will be with you for the rest of your life! such a wonderful thing! ❤❤
Tiptoe is very happy.
He knows how much he is loved.❤
I thought turtles in pet stores didn't grow much bigger than a small house cat, its crazy how big these ones get.
Turtles and tortoises are very different.
You and Tiptoe are so adorable. Really love watching!!
A huge tortoise got loose in Scottsdale early Saturday Morning, 600 pounds, we kept him out of the road until help came, Great animals but very headstrong haha
All the credit goes to you and your family for helping tiptoe become the awesome tortoise that he is. I love tiptoes personality and how active he is.
From what I understand Tiptoe has a lot of growing to do. Love the name it is prefect for him.
Tiptoe is so sweet and funny, I love his eyes. ❤ 🐢 And you take so good care to him, I can see you love him and he loves you! 😊
I adore tiptoe and thank you for sharing him.
Tiptoe is bigger than you! He is so handsome. Please keep him forever!
I just luv the way you truly adore & love this precious animal. Makes me sad to think someone else would ever get him. They will NEVER ❤️ him like YOU DO.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you for the extended version of A Day in the Life of Tiptoe. The usual Short always puts smile on my face
He is so lucky to have you. He is beautiful.❤
When you lean over and hug his shell 😍 i swear he looks into the distance and smiles. I love this.
Tiptoe: "Size matters! Just ask Godzilla and Gomorrah...distant relatives of mine."🤪
Just like with Clifford The Little Red Puppy, love made tiny Tip Toe grow
There is no such thing as just a tortoise. Just like there is no such thing as just a human. You both have imprinted yourselves on and within each other. It's a rare relationship that you each have with each other. So very unique and wholesome to watch your content .
I think it's just beautiful how you feel about this boy.
Good to see you again, Caitlin! Yes, Tiptoe is certainly living the good 👍 life!
I love your devotion to keeping him well.
Your love and care made him happy-go-lucky guy
That’s one way to secure the tortuous. Now your parents can never get rid of him 😅 👏 Tiptoe is so lucky to have you!
He is so cute... He will probably live over 100 possibly... if everything goes fine!

🥰🤩😄 I been following u guys for a while and didn't find out u guys had a TH-cam channel until now. 😅 I just subscribed!
Very cool pal, you both are fortunate to have each other.
He's gorgeous. What a perfect specimen.
Not sure why I am such a big fan but I am so glad you share TipToe with us
He's absolutely fascinating, stubborn, occasionally obnoxious, and always loveable! You're doing a great job!! 👍❤️
"occasionally obnoxious" you are not wrong!!!
