Old Wild Caught Tortoises
I thought it would be nice to have a section specifically on our old Wild Caught Tortoises. We could share stories of how we came by them, their care compared to CB and anything else. Also, what about keeping a record of what species and sex? It might be worthwhile information for our future breeding stock.
Can we have your thoughts on this and maybe made a Sticky? |

Sounds a good idea to me, I often wonder how many of the old guys are still around. Fred is fast asleep in the shed and we are all missing him!

How can you tell if your torts have worms? Do you think that they are like pups and should be routinely wormed?
