When I first saw Fig I was like "I NEED A TORTOISE" and thanks to your videos 2 months later I have a russian tortoise named Little Cha Cha. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Definitive guide for a non medical person to resource and realities on the commitment and intricacies involved in tortoise care you killed it girl did a great job. It’s a wonderful video.
Great video!! Most of all I appreciate the warning you shared to anyone wanting to adopt a tortoise... That they are not a "starter" pet and can be difficult to care for, and you're right that vet care is super expensive!! I also love that you highlighted their life expectancy and commitment. I love it, well done!!! 😊❤️🐢💞
tortoise supply makes a powder form topper for grocery’s greens to give them everything they need to make them okay… living in arizona at an apt complex as of right now with a baby sulcata and he/she gets romaine lettuce with the topper mixed with mazuri food pellets soaked in water, also loves prickly pear cactus :)
Love it! We have a Russian Tortoise who has brought so much joy to our lives. His name is Dusty. They are definitely more complicated than we initially thought but they are amazing pets that show love in their special tortoise way!
OUTSTANDING! You’re very soothing to listen to, Chas. I appreciate your detailed and thorough video. Suuuuuuuuper helpful (& informative), as are all your “instructional” videos. Thank you for taking the time to post this. It’s an excellent resource! 👏🏼😍 P. S. LOVE the feeding chart!
I'm unfortunately surrounded by family members who dont take the best care of their pets it can really get to me sometimes since nothing I try gets them to change their animal care habits Its nice to see people like you take so much care to make sure that your pets have healthy happy lives
My boyfriend and I are working on building my leopard his upgrade enclosure and you’ve been a hugeee help in the process!! Thanks for the awesome education you provided on our little friends 🐢🖤
I just bought a leopard tortise! I’m very excited. I was going to buy a heating pad to warm him at night. I know you mentioned in your video you keep your house around 70 degrees and that’s fine. I have mine around 73, but should we still have a heating pad to put in his enclosure at night?
Great guide tyvm 😊 🙏 although it kinda made me feel bad for not providing everything u mentioned to my tortoises mainly because many of these things aren't available in the country where I live. But I do provide them with everything that is available here hopefully it will be enough for them to stay healthy and happy. 😊 Btw I love fig so much. Seeing him always makes me happy 🥹🥹
Fig is so cute! I have a 4 year old Leopard named, Tina, and I love her so much. I've had her since she was about 6 mos old. I have a few questions for you! 1. Does UV wattage matter? 2. The hamsteer wheel makes me nervous, did you have to train Fig to use it? 3. Did you have any issues with the faux plants being in his enclosure?
*Just found this video! Great little tortoise, Fig.* Just got my baby red-footed tortoise and love her. My very first tortoise and I chose a high-maintenance haha! I did tons of research and got her all the necessary things for her huge terrarium. Timer for the humidity and basking, stone slab to add with the floor substrate to keep her claws trimmed. I also have a tiny tub with a rubber ducky for her daily soaks. Yes! I soak her daily because Yahya begins drinking the instant I set her in the tiny tub and 10 minutes pass and she poopies. She will come to me when she sees me and once I hold her, she begins to fall asleep. Extremely social and I've only had her a week and love her to death. Wonderful video and hope you visit my channel and see Yahya. The most pampered red foot on earth. 🧔🏻♂️❤️🐢
Heyyyy I love this video ❤ I just have a quick question, do you know any breeds of turtle or tortoise that grows and stays the same size that Fig is right now?❤
Hi thank u for posting this video I just had a question about the hamster wheel and which one specifically I should get because I don't know the size for walking on thank u
Hi sorry I just saw this! If you look at the description I have a link to “tortoise essentials” in there I have the hamster wheel linked that I recommend 🥰

Good luck!! What's his name? 🥹
Watching Fig inhale that petunia blossom was hysterical. I love your blind tabby cat, too. I have a soft spot for differently-abled pets.
He’s enthusiastic about eating 😂 and thank you! Me too 🥹
Oh yea your enclosure is nice!

Thank you!
Yayyy! I loved this so much! Thank you for another full length video!🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️ May I ask what brand/model is your larger humidifier pls?
It’s Aircare on Amazon!
@@through.the.lleaves thank you so very much!🙏🏻☺️
Fig is so cute
Isn’t he 🥹
That is so helpful thank you!
That’s great to hear! ❤️
Heyyyy I love this video ❤ I just have a quick question, do you know any breeds of turtle or tortoise that grows and stays the same size that Fig is right now?❤
With tortoises, they get pretty big. For turtles, musk/mud usually.
@through.the.lleaves oh nice thank you 💕
Western Hermann's will grow to about the size you saw Fig.
Nice leapard tort you have there ❤❤🐢
GREAT INFORMATION :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

I love leopard but decided to go for the sulcata leopard torts are prone to respiratory infections
7 AM…Imma be up early
on an added note, Fig has a better home than most do!
He’s so big🦾
He sure is!!
thank you 😍❤❤
Very good
How to clean the poop from the enclosure?
What if our tortoise peed in the enclosure and mulch?
Also, how big should the dog house be?
Hi fig !!
how long/how many times a day can they be out of their enclosure wandering around the house? also how did you introduce him to your other pets?
My turtle looks just like fig!
Hi thank u for posting this video I just had a question about the hamster wheel and which one specifically I should get because I don't know the size for walking on thank u
Hi sorry I just saw this! If you look at the description I have a link to “tortoise essentials” in there I have the hamster wheel linked that I recommend 🥰
Can you tell me what you use for humidifier?
Where are you going to get grass in the winter?
We grow it on the Gardyn hydroponic tower I mentioned!
I have no interest in owning a tortoise solely because I know I wouldn't be able to care for it well, but I still love watching Fig. 💛
awesome video! i will NOT be getting a tortoise, thanks for all the info! definitely not for most people
May I ask what kind of breed is fig?
Fig is a leopard tortoise!
what kind of cat is your cat, Kusa? i really want a cat like this.
Hello
Am I going to get a tortoise no did I watch this whole video yes
Can’t wait to see him graduate to a cat wheel lmao
Omg right 😂
Isn’t the soaking water a bit deep? He appeared to be struggling a little.
What kind of tortoise is he
Did you cat have eyes?
No I have 3 cats without eyes :)
