- It has been cold and dreary in Los Angeles but Tiptoe still needs to get out! Here’s how I make sure the big boy gets some movement and fresh air, even on a chilly day!

Tiptoe: "She needs to put a television in here..."🤔
Also Tiptoe, "A fruit bar would be nice, too."
with the Food Network on 24/7
he would be living his best life
When she opened the door and I saw him standing there like that, I actually thought he was watching TV at first. Lol 😅
You are such a good care-giver. You are going to be a wonderful parent someday!
the nicest compliment thank you so much omg
I like that warming light in there. Great idea for a chilly boy!
I just love the way that you take care of tip toe he is truly a blessed turtle 🐢
I love how you knock on his door❤️
a nice lil wakey wakey
Love the music choices! They go well with T’s activities.
Caitlin's world where courtesy care and decorum prevail as she knocks on Tip Toe's door. TT is a person too you know.
Caitlin! I think you’re missing a huge opportunity with a merchandise design or painting by tiptoe.
He has the perfect heart shaped shell on his breast plate, copy that and put it on a sweatshirt, it would be absolutely perfect.
Secondly, you can put some water based paint on it that wipes off easily and stamp some paper for a painting!
I’m telling you that heart-shaped shell is perfect and should be the absolute lead for your designs.
It’s $1 million idea I tell you. “Tip-toe your way to my heart” would be a great slogan.
You are a fantastic example of the joy and confounding crazy of those, scaly and otherwise, that rely on us completely. You are awesome!!!
Thank you so much for your content. I am watching this at a restaurant having lunch by myself and it’s such good vibes. Love you and Tiptoe❤ you’re both so cute 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your life with TT. It opens a new world of understanding for such an amazing animal!❤ do you have any younger videos of him like when he was a baby or when he was in his teens? It would be fun to see him when he was super small! ❤❤❤🐢🐢🐢🐢
She has shared pictures of when she was younger with him as a tiny baby ..handsize.
I have a few videos of baby T -- I will have to find them and I will post :)
I just love the way Tiptoe crunches his food. It sounds so satisfyingly delicious.
I never though I’d be a 41 year old stoner who loves watching a giant tortoise chow down, but here we are. Tiptoe is the best!
I'm a 61 year old stoner who loves watching Caitlin and Tiptoe. Mom had a large red eared slider named Pokey. Tiptoe reminds me a lot of Pokey, same personality but 4 times the size and tan instead of green 😊
Tiptoe is my role model. Don't move until it's very warm.... 🔥🔥🔥
😊
he definitely has the right idea in mind!!
@@caitlinandtiptoe 😊🐢
The look as you opened the door and let the cold air in.
he needed more beauty rest
@@caitlinandtiptoe lol cute
How do you get him ti go into his house and turned around so his face is pointed toward you? House seems small for him to crawl in and completely turn around?
I get such a kick out of watching him eat! Sooooo cute!!😂
Caitlin, after about 20 years of Tiptoe’s surprises, are they still “surprises” or more like “expectations”? 😂
I second that 💞
hahaha TRUE they never end
It looks like you buy grass hay, by the seed heads.
Has he tried 2nd or 3rd cut Lucerne hay, or is it too rich?
Does he like clover?
Have you tried growing grass seeds in trays and throwing out a 'Biscuit of them, each day, grown hydroponically, so there is no soil in roots?
What about trying some basil or cat grass, to perk things up?
So you could say he eats a Hay Buffet!
I love how she knocks on his door. How respectful. ❤️🇨🇦
Gosh, TipToe is such a healthy eater. I need to learn from him.
He's a very special guy with a very special mom
@@caitlinandtiptoe you really dote on him, just like I doted on my my late Shar Pei girl. Keep up the good work!
Thank You so much for allowing us to see the life of the phenomenal Tortoise Tip Toe 😎✨
hehe thank you so much for tuning in to our lil adventures
You are such a good mom!
Bubbles the tortoise says hello to Tiptoe.
hiii bubbles
Caitlin, I'm so thankful that you share this journey with your sweet boy. I watch a lot of animal channels and yours is a favorite. I love educational videos. I have dogs including pitties and do not have plans for turtles. I see its so much work and you are committed! I want you to know that this is a positive experience for us to watch. We see he's well taken care of even though it's out of his natural way of life. Don't worry about proving your mom hood to naysayers. We see the love! You are all in my prayers! Thankful for your parents too! Be blessed my friend 🙏 ❤️
I love how he just sits (lays?) there so you have to go to him to feed him. He has you well trained.
❤😂I love you girl for taking such care of TipToe!
"b'out time that girl cleaned my house!" lol 😂
I love how TipToe's front feet are pigeon-toed. These videos are making me want to adopt a tortoise, especially if I had a Caitlin to help look after him or her.
He's SO FUNNY. Such a refined gentleman.
knocking first = thoughtful mum.
Lucky Tip Toe 🐢
It would be nice to see 50 degrees again.
Up here it is a warm 20 F with 20-40 mph winds.
You and the Big T warms my heart ❤❤❤❤❤
Back to moving snow ❄️
❤U🐢
oh my goodnesss!! We hope that you are bundled up staying warm
Just another day in paradise 🥶
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Nick!
LOVE that t shirt! Tiptoe thinks it’s funny when you’re inside his house and he’s outside.
This was a fun video, thank you!! Have a nice weekend!!
Love to watch tiptoes videos for the next 80 years
hehe
Tiptoe is so cute! He surely has personality.
I think he smiles. He's definitely smiling.
Thank you for sharing!
Enjoy your weekend!🐢💙
Caitlin, have you considered a couple of tall propane heaters for his patio. That would keep the area warm till he got through with his eating and exercise.😅
I love TipToes little chomps when he eats
I love seeing tiptoe in his little home 😊
This is a fab video - I often get the old ones come up ( algorithms I guess) so it’s lovely to see such an up to date one - I gauge them by the colour of TT house and the width of his upper legs 😂 then I know it’s recent. You are so wonderful with him Caitlin - I’m often stuck in my bed too (due to poor health) and I’d love that level of care 😂 you are so kind.
Where can I buy that Tshirt ?? I follow you on UA-cam only as I don’t really do social media- I live in Scotland UK and happily pay shipping
Love & warm hugs to you both ❤❤
Caitlyn, you certainly love Tiptoe! He loves you as well!❤😊
TT is living the life! ❤
Good Morning Sunshine!! Still chilly in our neck of the woods bu starting to get more 🌞🌸🌞🌸
Tiptoe is happy happy happy ❤
Finally you repaired his broken door
I found this to be very soothing. ❤❤❤❤
Watching tiptoe makes me want a big turtle too. I don’t think he’d do good in Chicago weather. Especially the winter. That’s a cool a$$ turtle. You the man big T. 😂
😅 Thank you so much for sharing. I think Jxmtro looks great in his toque perfect colour on him. I think he is the sweetest turtle I’ve ever seen. Love your videos. Thank you so so much Caitlin. Sweet idea with the TV 🧐you think that would be safe. It be fantastic to have to watch whatever he wants 😊 but with the plug-in.? He likes to move around the corners … maybe watching TV in the house would be a lot safer…. But again I must say I just couldn’t stop laughing when I seen that little blue toque on him ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha😅😅😅😅🤣🤣 you’re a pretty sweet guy tiptoe🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🌺🌸🌺 can you sure I have a sweet smile😁
Just found your channel and aw i love your content! You and Tiptoe are so cool 🫶🏼 this vlog was so nice and relaxing ty
That thumbnail foto is SO ADORABLE! TIPTOE ADORABLE DORAN IS HIS FULL NAME!
You did provide a heating lamp, but what about a pillow and a blankie? And those "surprises" are not TipToe's fault; you haven't provided him with a toilet. He would help with cleaning, but needs a broom a tortoise can hold! 🥰
I'll have to add some extra goodies in there for him!! He needs an extension put on with a bathroom
😂😂
We have a beautiful tortoise who brings so much joy.
Thumbnail of Tiptoe in his blue bennie ❤ 💯
New subscriber here! We have a 3 year old Sulcata named Tito, we've had him since he was about 1 month old. I'm starting to plan to keep him outdoors now, doing research to make sure he will be safe and comfortable. God Bless
Such a good mom!
He's so adorable... Great video content. Thanks for bringing joy to people.
I love how 55 for you is cold. It was 56 today here in KC, and I had the windows and patio door open. 🤷🏼♀️
TipToe making content 80 years from now. 😎
I hope y‘all have a healthy and good week🐢🍀❤️😂
We hope that you do too
OMG TYYYYYYYYYYY 🐢🐢🐢🐢🍀
❤ Love the merch I'll have to find a way to get a T-shirt or something.😅🎉
Can he feel your touch when your rubbing his shell? Your such a good mama
slow & steady to a "walk" live life full measure... like over 130 years 🐢💕...............🏠
CORR:HIS MOUTH WIPE OUT CLEAN
he is amazing
Love this and you guys, thank you! I always want a big salad after watching these videos❤😂
Fyi I have Sonoran desert tortoises. Plants they like you can grow are ruella and desert marigold. They eat the flowers and foliage. I also grow dicondra with the Bermuda grass.
I can watch these Vlogs all day, they are so realxing & very enjoyable to watch
You have the whole gang, pet dog, cat and tortoise!
I live in Ohio I think that's it amazing how you give tip toe the love and care that you give that includes your parents, I have horse's as well riding & driving is the very least of owning them it's all about the care of having them
Awesome chill laid back video for mr.T & you
Just a few thoughts, do you have room for a greenhouse? You could grow flowers in it. Have you tried to reach out to local florist? Used to work at one they throw away flowers, maybe TT would eat? Check with local flower growers?
Caitlin you have my respect for sharing Tiptoe with us ❤❤❤ Plus being a Special Ed teacher ❤ ♥ My son has Downs and severe Autism 💙. He is non verbal and depends on me and Keith. He will be 30yrs in July. Joan ❤❤❤
what a sweet boy ❤ love you Mr T 🐢💘
Hello from Michigan!! I love your videos!!!💕🐢
He is just SO cute!!!😊
When he came upon you inside his house, i expected him to close the door on you and tell you he'll see you tomorrow!
Caitlin when you put Tiptoe in his house for the night , do you latch his doors ,does he ever open his doors and go out at night , if so , if he goes back in his house at night with no one watching , his doors would stay open all night , and is there any wild animals around there especially at night , maybe he need a small window so he knows if its day or night ⏰🌜🌝🐢
Eating machine, that lower neck plate is bad ass, like armor. You should put a small TV in his house let him watch Gamera movies 🐢
All tortoises and turtles live dangling their arms I noticed my do it all the time makes great pictures !!!
Love y'all show everything you can ur AWESOME
What about getting a big patio heater
Or two and putting them outside for him when it’s cold ? Maybe even put up a tent for him? He needs a green house or something to stay warm in during cold weather
ooo love these ideas, thank you!!
He he he, eating is never a problem....love him❤
You all from Cali crack me up, your idea of "cold" but I do realize Tiptoe is from the heat of Africa
Nawing away. His face with greens on his face. So funny
I’m coming to California to see tiptoe😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
How cold can he be outside before you bring him indoors?
once it hits the 50's we always insist on bringing him it -- it rarely gets that cold but always an option
I love the way he eats!❤🎉😅😊!
How has the Discovery channel or Animal Planet not reach out to you yet?? You and TT deserve your own show!
Thank you for sharing
If he doesn’t bust the door open I don’t want it!!!!
I get so much satisfaction from it.
Man I love that little guy he's a mess 😂😂😂
That guy ALMOST makes veggies look good 😊.
I wonder if we were all, hoping he was going to wear his toque in this video maybe next time still thank you for sharing😊❤
Lol "55 is quite chilly..." oh how i wish
we are very spoiled here
Hey? What are the white lines in between the panels on his shell? Is tiptoe OK?
yes!! these are actually growth lines -- somehow, someway he is still growing!!
My wife and I saw them and we were concerned. Thank you for clearing that up Caitlyn we always love seeing what’s going on with tiptoe!
Message to Caitlin: Tiptoe may need more than a little wool cap to handle the cold.
I know this is cold for tortoise standards.😅😅 but it gets super cold here in CT. 😂
TT looks like a spring chicken. Does he snore when he sleeps? I feel it is so amazing when animals snore. Now I have never had experience with a tortoise or reptile. Your channel and content is amazing.
I've heard faint snores but nothing too crazy -- my dog however..... she can snore
