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!!!!!!!!
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
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.
Fig is adorable !!! I have two pugs so my time and commitment is already taken !! But as I said, Fig is adorable and you take very good care of him !!! He is lucky to have you !!! 🐢🌿🌸😊
Girl, coming across your channel is a blessing! Like you I too am an animal lover so your channel resonates with me. So grateful you shared this critical info. People need to understand this completely! Thank you! Sending lots of love and hugs to all your pet babies 😍❤️
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!!! 😊❤️🐢💞
You got it spot on about the care, if they get sick & need to see a doctor, exotic vets are not cheap! And our closest one is 2 1/2 hours away. But we go there because they are such a very good place and it's worth it. Even their daily care, they're enclosures, lighting & their food, just their regular daily care is expensive too!
Thanks for this video My partner and I are pet sitting a leopard tortoise that is not in the best condition( the smaller tortoise in the same enclosure died today ). We have no idea how to take care of it….. This is a life saver.
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!
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 🥹🥹
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 🐢🖤
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!
Great video. Had no idea so much work goes into keeping a tortoise. Given how long tortoises live, it's not fair to adopt a baby and then discard them later when you can't keep up. They may not be able to cope in the wild, at least.
Thank you for sharing such good information there is so much bad advice out there misinformation that is so dangerous. I’ve been watching Fig on instagram since he was tiny love seeing him grow. 🐢🐢💚
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 :)
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?
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 🥰

Aewwwwa!! Would love to see it. I'm debating about getting one myself!
Fig is soooo cute😊. I’m content with watching him and his many adventures in your home😊.
Fig is set for life! So thoughtful that you included him in your will.
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
That would be so frustrating 😭 but yes, there are many out there who do take great care of their pets too!

Good luck!! What's his name? 🥹
I'd love to have a tortoise one day (when my lifestyle is ready to support one).
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!
Aw that’s amazing! They really are such wonderful creatures
Fig is so cute
Isn’t he 🥹

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 🥹

Thank you so much for this!
Fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing all of this information
I have always wanted a tortoise so this is good info
That’s great to hear! Thanks!

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. 💛
Thank you so much for posting this I really appreciate it 😁😊
Fantastic video. Thank you. I had no idea.
Thank you, this was great!

He sure is!!

GREAT INFORMATION :)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Thank you!! :)
on an added note, Fig has a better home than most do!

What humidifier do you use? Inside the enclosure
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.
Thank God he's cute because he is a lot of work!
Very good
I love leopard but decided to go for the sulcata leopard torts are prone to respiratory infections
My turtle looks just like fig!
where did you got that food and water dish from?
i have an indian star tortoise
can you pls make a video about that too
Hi fig !!
Is that a pathos trailing down the right side of his habitat? Does he not try to eat it?
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?
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?
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!
awesome video! i will NOT be getting a tortoise, thanks for all the info! definitely not for most people
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 🥰
What specie is fig? :)
Hello
Do tortoises show any affection?
May I ask what kind of breed is fig?
Fig is a leopard tortoise!
Am I going to get a tortoise no did I watch this whole video yes
what kind of cat is your cat, Kusa? i really want a cat like this.
Can’t wait to see him graduate to a cat wheel lmao
Omg right 😂
how would I teach my tortoise to use a hamster wheel and to play with a ball
Isn’t the soaking water a bit deep? He appeared to be struggling a little.
What kind of tortoise is he
get to the point please
Did you cat have eyes?
No I have 3 cats without eyes :)
