Old Wild Caught Tortoises

Shelled Lady · 04-12-2011, 11:45 PM

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!

Toby's fast asleep too. But my new wc ones cannot hibernate, they were full of worms

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

Joe's awake for the first time ever this winter

Well... When they poo there are big fat juicy worms wriggling about

Big white roundworms?
