It's not until now, however, that I've finally found one! Slowcoach is EXCELLENT! Despite the fact that I'm quite up on my husbandry and breeding, having successfully bred both Med. Spur-thighed tortoises and Indian Star tortoises, your site has given me useful contact addresses to which to write in order to enquire about inportation of my captive bred hatchlings.

They both thrive on dandelion, kale, collards, and romain as their staple diet. I supplement with assorted fruits such as strawberries,apples,banana, tomato,watermellon, cantelope, pears, peaches and kiwi(which seems to be a big favorite). Yellow zucchini is a big hit, too. They also graze on grass all summer in our large backyard. They will crawl into my lap to eat by hand. The spur thigh excavated a 3 ft by 18 in. burrow.(Name is Broomhilda) Bruticus has been occasionally battered by her, but still keeps up his amourous intentions. She occassionally permits him to mate. In addition to these wonderful pets, I have two snapping turtles (alligator and common), an Australian Snakeneck, two spiny soft shells, a South American wood turtle, and a Chinese box. I also have a loving and tolerant wife. |

Anyway, I have some questions about the species. I have heard many different things, feed them supplements, don't they grow healthy without them. I don't know what to do, I usually buy a land tortoise prepared,wet and serve food, with no animal or insect protein, and it seems to like it. I also feed it spinach, brocolli, and alfalfa sprouts, and alfalfa bale, in the spring I feed him fresh clovers, and strawberries. But I don't want to keep feeding him the store bought food, its expensive, and one package may be only an appetizer or a snack when he gets larger. But If I feed him the fresh veggies and fruit for a few days he wont eat it anymore. What do I do? Also, I have seen pictures, and real tortoises, and some of their shells are perfectly rounded, some are slightly bumpy. My young tortoise has a shell that is beginning to appear slightly bumpy. I hear that that can be a sign of becoming infertile, or internal problems. He appears lively and healthy. His shell is not cut or broken or soft, his skin is still the same color and textures, his eyes are bright and he is strong. I would like someone that has a Sulcata tortoise to be able to contact through the mail. I do not have my own email base, the address is my mothers, please feel free to contact me there, I would greatly apprieciate it. Thank you, very much, ...a very interested tortoise mom |

Website: Referred by: Net Search From: Germany Time: 1999-01-05 18:49:10 Comments: I love tortoises. I had one for almost 18 years, but it died in April 1998. It was a Russian tortoise (Testudo horsfieldi). It came out of hibernation and didn't want to eat or run around. Usually, it was a very active, vivid tortoise that run around shortly after hibernation and also started eating very fast. But this time it didn't. We brought it to a veterinarian, who is a specialist for small animals. He couldn't find anything wrong with her, she looked normal. He gave her a vitamin injection, since the tortoise never liked to eat her food when vitamin drops were mixed into it. But it didn't help. The tortoise didn't start eating or running around, it just slept. We took her back to the veterinarian who told us that she probably was just old and that it is too weak and that's why it doesn't eat and walk. Soon afterwards it died. I still don't know if it was really just old or if it had a disease that the veterinarian couldn't recognize. It was a very sweet turtle and we loved it very much. |

We have him in a huge box with cedar filling in our kitchen. We are trying to feed him lettuce and turtle food. Its difficult to tell whether he is eating. Do you have any advice for us? |

We all felt very bad about just about loosing her, however when we bought her from the pet store, we were told they were easy keepers and just feed them crickets and keep them warm...but as we know now, not so, as there is a little more care needed! |

Website: Referred by: Yahoo! From: Deer Park, Texas, USA Time: 1998-11-14 17:11:35 Comments: This is a very informative site for me. I have had a tortoise, or maybe she has me, for about 5 or 6 years now. She lives in my backyard and is left pretty much alone. She will come up to my sliding glass patio door each day and bump her shell on the door to get our attention. I will cut up about half a cucumber (her favorite) and feed her outside. When she is done she will go her merry way and I won't see her again till the next day. Each year around the latter part of September or the first part of October she will start her hibernation in the same spot in my yard. I check on her periodically throughout the winter season and sometime in March or April she will awaken. I think she is a Grecian tortoise, although I am not positive. Her name is Fred. My family and all of the neighborhood children love to watch her eat and slowly ramble about the yard. She is always willing to be hand fed a little bit of cucumber or tomato (her 2nd favorite) from a child if he will be patient enough. My other animals, a dog and cat, are very tolerant of Fred and never seem to bother her although the cat always keeps an eye on Fred when they are in close proximity. I used to let Fred come in the house and would feed her in the house but my wife banished her to the back yard when one night while my wife was going to the bathroom about 1or 2am and Fred decided to take an evening stroll around the house. All would have been alright if Fred had not decided to walk over my wife's foot in the dark bathroom. The moment I heard the scream I knew what had happened. That night Fred came awfully close to soup. She hasn't been in the house since. I'm just lucky I am still allowed in the house. |

Greetings and best wishes to all who love turtles and/or who are privileged to share their lives with them. Just a few fun-filled, free-falling minutes of surfing the Net (or should I say web?) and yet another universe appears full-blown! I know have two young box turtles that hatched from a clutch of four eggs I discovered in my compost heap in East Hampton, New York. I didn't take any of the "wild" adults that shared my compost, garden, yard and life there, but the "little ones" who did come to Vermont are thriving happily (AND I have actually observed native, Vermont cousins of theirs here in southern Vermont's Connecticut River Valley, so I KNOW that mine are not the only boxies this far north! I am looking for a chance to expand the "chelonian" portion of our household with a few more turtle/tortoise "relatives"--NOT for them necessarily, but for me! It won't surprise anyone to know that I have a zillion anecdotes about intelligent my boxies are, how they recognize individual cats and people, have definite opinions on almost everything and how they seem to prefer being with us--even inside--over out in their [I think terrificly appointed] outside pens! But, I'll let some other fanatic prattle on for me and "me little shelled frinds..." |
