Welcome to my brand new tortoise blog!
Here you will have the opportunity to read about the stories of each of my tortoises, as well as hopefully learn about proper care and feeding.
Meet the stars of the blog:
 |
| My Russian torts (testudo horsfieldii), Timmy (front, female) and Roz (back, male) |
 |
| The amazing little rescue Russian tortoise, Norbert (aka "Stumpy" ). |
 |
| Mo, the ancient Russian tortoise rescue |
 |
| Joe, who was rescued along with Mo |
 |
Boo, aka the little mystery tortoise. He has been identified as an Antakyan greek tortoise (Testudo graeca antakyensis).
Ps: He came with that ring drilled into his carapace... it has since been removed!

| Mila, a young female Russian tortoise we adopted. |
 |
| Jill, also a young female Russian tortoise. She and Mila came from the same home. |

Do you know how to tell which RTs are rescues. The rescues always look like Gonzo!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteMany greetings from Germany! Tortaddiction here, too. I just stumbled over your blog with your tortoise cozies being featured in the Etsy newsletter. Congrats! You have a wonderful tortoise family! I am glad to see you are knowing a lot about them and you do the right things like hibernating and having them outside whenever possible, just like us. We have 2 russians, 3 testudo graeca and they had hatchlings 2 times ( 7 babies still living here and I just keep them, because we have enough space.)
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Angelika
we found what we thought was a tortoise on a busy street in town.. how do we know what kind we have and the proper way to care for it
ReplyDeleteI recommend you post pictures on a reputable tortoise forum - such as e.g. www.tortoiseforum.org - so that someone can help you identify what species you have. Then, you can look up the specific care your tortoise will need. :)
