- Tiptoe is a growing boy and eats about the size of his shell in food daily... at this point, he's pushing 175.. maybe more...

xoxo Caitlin and Tiptoe
What a cutie 💓 Remember to ask some of the vendors at your local farmers market. I'm sure they would donate some greens if they can have a photo op with TT!!😅
Two cuties❤, I would never have thought watching a pretty lady feed a tortoise would be so entertaining 😂
He ran after that strawberry 🍓.
Sweet tiptoe
Tiptoe: "Of course i eat all day! WORK is a four letter word."🤪
He really moves once he realizes he's going to get strawberries 😂
Tip Toe is the best .
His food bill is about the same as my 2 Maremma guardian dogs .
Thank You for sharing Tip Toes 🐢 adventures
❤U🐢

Tiptoe has a good appetite . Thanks Caitlin for being such a fantastic tortoise mom .
Tiptoe is one of the cutest tortoises I’ve ever seen 😊
Never a dull time watching tip toe and learning about him. Who would have thought he was a picky eater! I always wonder what those flowers taste like for him because he loves them. I love turtles so much, I had a desert tortoise for years. And tip toe is just the best! He's got personality plus, and is handsome ❤ love your videos about him. Thank you for sharing with us
I am so glad that you found our page :) We are learning new things everyday about him, it is so much fun
He is the cutest tortoise I have ever seen 😊❤
I think that's the only pet you can say to stay with you for your entire life.
People come and go but Tiptoe is always there.
It's so sweet to see the bond you and Tiptoe have with one another. So much love and respect from Minnesota. 🐢✌💗
Looks like he's alittle careful and tries not to bite your fingers when you feed him,but it's good you both are alittle careful!🥲
During the 1980's I had a holiday in Mauritious. There were 2giant tortoise kept as pets by the hotel. They roamed freely in the grounds. We used to feed them bananas, which they loved. However, we had to watch our fingers, they were very grumpy!! I love how you look after TT. Love from England.
Love his little legs 😂😂.. it’s crazy I’m 6’ 2” & he’s the same weight as me..
Wow! You have room for weight but Idk!

Tiptoe is much Loved by his very caring Mom, so sweeeeeet ❤❤❤Joan
Once again the greatest part of my day when I see a new TT and Caitlin video! Thanks for always teaching us something!
❤❤❤ Great job, Caitlin. Keep teaching us and highlighting your handsome Tiptoe!
You take very good care of Tiptoe.
It would be amazing if your next new house had a pond in the back yard with lots of grass.
That would be great!
❤❤❤ he’s adorable 🥰 bless him
I practice the piano for most of the morning and Tiptoe videos make up my mini breaks 😎
I love this!!! That's so cool that you play the piano, so fun to listen to
Aww Tiptoe is so adorable!! The way he ran toward the strawberry was the cutest thing ever!! Oh and I have something in common with him - we both like Romaine Lettuce lol. I could eat a big Romaine Lettuce salad every day and never get sick of it. Maybe I'm part tortoise!? 😉
Hey Caitlin I am Rani from India.I love your videos and I love Tiptoe.He is such an adorable cutie 🥰🥰🥰.I wish you both will always keep healthy and safe. May you both have a wonderful, strong and healthy lifelong relationship.

Thank you for teaching us viewers about the upkeep of precious Tiptoe..does he feel your touch on his shell? ❤❤❤
He’s so beautiful. I’ve followed you for awhile & you all take such good care of him. Luckily you’re in So Cal where the flowers & veg are plentiful. (From Nor Cal…went to college in LB.) Now in Apex, NC
I could watch tiptoe all day. He's so cool
I think he likes when you hold for him. LOL
yes!! so spoiled
Love him and you and your channel. fun times here.
Love you and tiptoe Make so many people happy.❤U.2.💯%. I really appreciate the time you put in making us so happy.
You better get started on your family so so be able to take care of tiptoe when you're Old and Gray. Yes we all age.❤U.
You’re a great mom to tiptoe,he hit the jackpot having you.

We❤u BOth Caitlin and TiptOoeee mwah mwah stay healthy bOth of u GOdbless 😊 🙏 😘
He's such a Cute, Big-Little Gentleman.
I LOVE when I get to see any tortoise where I live, They're AMAZING, But I've never been able to see a Big Guy like Tip-Toe. Give Him some love for me, Please.
Good video and just love watching Tiptoe.
He is so cute
It is great that Tiptoe has a very balanced diet suitable for a tortoise his size. I understand that fruits and flowers are his dessert flavors and tastes. Same for most humans! 🐢🥰👍❤️
Way too precious!
You and tip are the coolest .if your looking for a husband find a good one take your time .
As for kids that's an even bigger decision.
I'm floored you picked a career in giving .hard to fund a nice girl dedicated to more than herself and I'm proud of you for not being perfect but having her head in straight.
And looking past her nose for happiness .
Tip is just great never knew how big a tortoise pet could get and the dedication your family shows is very positive and heartening. It's a great story your sharing I'm a new fan .and wish you guys all the best ...in all you do .love is a wonderful thing thanks
He's precious ❤
Good neighbors.😁
Good to see you both 🐢🧝♀️🤩👍
The loving care you have for tiptoe has prepare u for motherhood.
He's ur first newborn....
Celery greens are amazing in chicken soups and chicken salad
Tiptoe is a legend
Hi 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
I'm getting some inspiration here for my Krob-Krob & need to check how fast are these type of tortoises growing 💗
Also getting some inspiration thank you! I would need to figure out I think it would be nice if I could arrange some nice plates I mean bowls or rather really nice decorations like a stationary from where to eat like a buffet style the feeding system rather
Great video ❤
Yeah! My african sulcata tortoise loves green romaine lettuce all the time! ❤
Please be careful of your fingers!!! He just wants the flowers, and strawberries I don't think he knows what's at the end of that. He is a real cutie. He seems pretty smart too. 🥰
Happy weekend.
Hi mr tiptoe caitlan ❤ I own 4 sulcatas the biggest one eats loads ❤️🐢
I love this video! TT’s crunch should be an ASMR video. Lol - I would give anything to live near you so I could help with video set up. I would love to see him try to do an obstacle course or a race track. Lol He is precious.
this is SUCH a great idea
God bless all he so cute
Hi Caitlin, I really enjoy watching your Tiptoe videos, do you still have all of your fingers??
I do!! He's gotten me a few times but only when I get tooo close
I keep rabbits, and to lower my hay costs I go to either the local farm and fleet and get a 50pound bale for 20$. Or sometimes I go to the local horse people and buy a bale off them for like 10$.
I love seeing him live his best life with you all!❤ I wonder how many pounds he will eventually get to? Does he have excellent vision, or is he going by scent to get the fruit at a distance when you hold it, or he has to find it in his enclosure?
I love this boy!!❤🐢❤
Tip's like where da watermelon?
his faaaavorite
World would be healthier place if they had the Tiptoe diet🥕🍓🍉🍎🥬🥒🐢
😃👍👍👍❤ Very well done videos and it shows with over 300K subscribers! Go girl!.
thank you so much :)
Such a good looking tortoise. Love your videos. Is there any space in your backyard where tt could make a burrow?
U are beautiful inside and out
thank you :)
The produce department at grocery stores throw away insane amounts of stuff, I don't know if you've tried this. I've always wanted a Sulcata but I got a Belgian Malinois instead (which I've wanted for 30+ years), 😂. I realistically didn't have the dedication or space for a proper enclosure and our climate wasn't conducive to its care.
My tortoise is probably 25 pounds- Igot her November 2019- she fit in my palm at that time- we just put her outside this summer- top toe is great - pokey is my tortoise name
awww thats the sweetest name
TipToe is the handsomest guy on UA-cam...and I think he knows it.
Should put a go pro on his shell then call it the Toe Pro.
SO GOOD
Caitlin your so beautiful 🌺
thank you so much
I’m with him on the celery 😂
I keep trying with the hay, she is not a fan, lol my baby sualcata likes grass and weeds so i makevsure she has those. They can be picky
Good life turtle hawe... I wouldn't refuse such a thing :)
The one and only thing I wonder is is he ever gains any weight
I think she would need to find a warehouse that does large shipments to get his weight. He is still growing, his growth plates show that. He is so cool!
I doubt it
Where do you buy the hay for him??
BTW he is beautiful ❤
I have been getting it on amazon :)
@@caitlinandtiptoe Ok Thank you so much for replying ❤️. Love you TIPTOE❤️🐢
have a wonderfu weekend
we hope that you had a great weekend too!
When you were scattering his romaine, he was looking up at you as if to say
“Mommy!
I want YOU to feed me”
does tip toe like tulips LOL.
Maybe you could try horse food suppliers for hay, May be cheaper, just a thought....
that's a great idea!
@@caitlinandtiptoe ❤️ good luck xx
Clover Hay might be nice too 😊 xx
The paneling on the fence looks nice, hopefully Tiptoe doesn't remodel it. Just wondering if You have a Tiptoe necklace?
I don't but I should get one!
Here's an ideal
Put the powder in the flower blossoms.
I have a sulcata tortoise aswell. Do these babies like having friends. I feel kind of bad for him he just cruises solo in the front yard all day
❤❤❤❤❤
Tiptoe is too good for hay
you're not wrong
A real life Dinosaur 🦕!!
What’s the name of the grass u buy on Amazon?
He's an eating machine. My sulcata is about 16" long and lives in a huge outdoor pen (in Florida) with a big burrow she has dug. Shows zero interest in going into water. They seem to have a great sense of smell for fruit.
What about when he goes to bed. Does he sleep with the lights on?
He eats like my bunny
Hi Caitlin is tt full growen now or is he still growing one other thing how did you talk your way into getting tt
What kind of hay? Alfalfa? Or a grass hay? I can’t see your link
Lol my baby does not like celery either
Does Tiptoe eat organic food?
not all organic but quite a bit!
❤❤❤❤😂😂
How do I get my sulcata tortoise to eat grass and hay? She absolutely hates it
I would try soaking it in some water so it isn't so tough, that definitely worked for us. Also, if you hide prefered food items in the hay that could work too hehe
Thank you! I'm going to try this again because my zill is becoming very picky 🙃
I love tiptoe -makes my day. I have a cat Sir Moewski
Caitlin can I ask u a question … can u do me a favor n say “him” 😂😂
“Himmmumbbuhh”
🌺🌺🌺🌺
If everybody follows Tiptoe's diet, there will be no obesity or early deaths. Everyone would live healthier and maybe happier like him too.
The links you listed are not working .
thank you!!
It just seems that $100 a month is a low estimate, I don’t know, where are you guys buy your fruit isn’t cheap, even vegetables can be a little more expensive in those higher quality supermarkets. Believe me I know, I live in San Francisco where everything is expensive
Does his 175 ever fluculate?
Don’t blame you T, I don’t like celery either 🤢
How do you know if he is fat?
Thanks Caitlin! Is it Lucerne Hay you use for Tiptoe?
