    You should make some more grass free area around the ponds so they can get out of it but it will still look good and u can still see what it does in winter it's looking so good thought I know they are sooo happy and loving it

    Your set up is top notch. My Aldabras like some grasses a lot more than others you might try some low growing Bermuda grass. I have had my two for 17 years and they are challenging but great pets.

    Hi guys,
    Grass:
    The tortoises will always eat the boundaries first because they explore to lay out their territory. After the edges are all eaten, the center of the enclosure may have tougher, older, and less desirable grass. You can address this with simple 4x4s laid at right angles to the boundaries to create a maze like effect which can give you a huge increase to the distance the tortoises must travel to make a “lap” and much more young fresh grass to eat.
    Channel:
    You “Will” find your channel grows faster if you answer a significant number of the comments while small to “prove” you care about your subscribers and listen to what they say.
    Diet:
    Does one grass species give the tortoises enough variety to thrive on? A lot of other channels supplement tortoise diets with a good pellet they broadcast to encourage foraging. These pellets are scientifically developed to provide the daily recommended requirements for a happy growing tortoise. 😄😄😄

    Put like a 1m by 2m rock slab in each enclosure , it'll be a nice open area and also they trim their beacks while eating in it

    Get a couple small goats. You can stake them out in one pen for a few days and move them around. They will fix your grass problems and they won't bother your tortoises

    Just put down slate to make an open area. Bonus it keeps their claws and beaks grinded down and acts as a bask.

    It might have been a better idea to plant dwarf herb plant species seeds in the greenhouse rather than grass.

    • @Itstheoutputs
      @Itstheoutputs 3 роки тому +1

      I’ve seen other channels with combinations of tortoises and vegetarian lizards that get along great. Some smaller bug eating lizards not likely to hurt the tortoises would work great. 😃

    Are there any tortoises that can live in central Texas outdoors? Summer highs can hit 110+ and winter lows OCCASIONALLY hit the mid 20s.

    • @Itstheoutputs
      @Itstheoutputs 3 роки тому +1

      Hi Troy. Houston here. Two things. You need permanent water supply available year round. You also need permanent microclimates for summer to avoid heat and winter to avoid the cold. Winter may require electricity for the heat. Summer should be ok with sun shelter and moisture enough to allow for digging and plants.

    • @Itstheoutputs
      @Itstheoutputs 3 роки тому +1

      I think to start out you may want a Redfoot tortoise. They are beautiful and can live longer than you. They are easy to care for as well as not too big to move inside during the winter if you want. You can even buy a readymade habitat. Do some research and see what you think.

    damn that's a lot of grass. I'd definitely cut that down or take some of it out if I were you. especially for the smaller tortoises.

      Yes! You could make areas with different kinds of grass and transplant to other enclosures.

    Lizards and crocodiles are more interesting then tortoises.
