      PrinceWilliam TheFox most definitely! I research as much as I can before investing my life, and my families life, in a new animal. I'm fortunate to have a young son (9) that loves his tortoises as well. He watches +kampkenan religiously along with reading up on the species he loves. I often tell people that I'm raising my future grand children's tortoises!

    I hate when you ask a person a question and they give you EVERYTHING except for the answer. He asked the dude how do you get a hatchling over the delicate period. He answered what? nothing but, get another one. ??? So then Mr "love the sound of my own voice" takes over and talks talks talks......at the end we learn nothing.

    • @ZHExotics
      @ZHExotics 3 роки тому

      Calm down dude, what did sam do to you? He does not deserve the disrespect you just said, he's been doing this for 35 years, and he did answer the question, when he was talking about getting another one, he wasn't wrong, keeping two babies together can cause them to stay active and healthy, moving around and not getting lethargic, and stressed, which can cause death in young tortoises, you also gotta look out for respiritory issues though which I think would be good if he said that.

    A point to add about Sulcata's. Sulcata's need to wear down their shells. I've made places for them to dig, but I limit how far down they can go, and I fill in the holes once or twice a week, so they have to dig it out again. My male Sulcata had some fairly bad pyramiding, and it's starting to wear down, so those scutes that look just as they did when they were babies are polished and almost gone.

I can't just leave him outside to decompose because raccoons will take off with him. My old boss gave me a bearded dragon that wouldn't eat and when he passed away I buried him outside and the raccoons just dug him up and took him. Which I don't mind. They're making use of it at least by eating it, but like I said, I'd like to keep the shell of my turtle so I can't have them coming and taking him....
