The other day I got some UNBELIEVABLE footage of my tortoise laying eggs. We also went around and fed ALL the tortoises and put the GoPro on Ike for the day! Full Video - ua-cam.com/video/gSPi0v-Qwic/v-deo.html
Hey Tortoise Whisperer. You've inspired me to adopt a neglected tortoise who lived in a fish aquarium. The tank was so small that she couldn't even turn around. It genuinely made me feel so bad. She's currently chilling on a heating pad in my basement, I made a little enclosure for her. She loves her veggies! I can't wait for spring so she can experience freedom for the first time. I'm going to install a small barrier fence so she can explore the yard as she pleases.
I legit want my retirement job to be a tortoise sanctuary. I just want a bunch of torties and a couple dogs and for them to love each other and love me.
I rescued a baby spiny softshell. She was so thin and weak with yellow spots all over. I already have a male who is doing great, so I took a chance. We let her dry in the sun and dabbed a little peroxide on the yellow spots. 3 months later she is almost healed and plump like my male. We are attached now as I noticed she responds to my voice and loves to be held. Keep up the good work buddy!!!
People getting animals that could live longer than them 🤣 like they are cats lol who's going to take care of it your kids😭 good luck with that so sad that's why they have rescue facilities because people don't think before they get an animal that will outlive them
You made my baby's day! She loves to watch your tortoise videos all the time. I think I've seen all of them at least 50 times by now 😵 we're happy to see a new video!😀
These videos are so relaxing to watch I love how the baby's were all huddled together in there table when they were getting some sun before a nice soak
I love how they “graduate” from popping out of eggs, to baby pen, to the yearling enclosure etc. To the regular back garden, and then finally to Ike’s level of freedom 🤣 just wander around and make a 40ft den wherever he likes between wow session 🤣
I enjoy the noise, crunchy, when the tortoise eat salad. That Shows the appetite of the animals and on the Others Hand, the fresh quality of the good. I have a Hermanni tortoise,
This is definitely one of the very best channels on UA-cam. Absolutely wonderful content, dude. What you are doing is really really great. Teaching people about taking care of animals helps to promote a healthy view of life and the world.
I had a tortoise at home for more than 30 years. I grew up with her. She used to travel with us inside a shoe box in the car, letting her going for some walk in the stops. She used to go to the kitchen asking for food, and she came when I called her with some food. She passed away last year. It was so sad. I'm glad you're taking so good care of these beautiful buddies.
I've never been into ASMR or anything the past few years, but I swear the sound of these tortoises chomping on salad is just the most wholesome satisfying sound. I could literally fall asleep with such joyous contentment knowing they're happy and healthy.
I have no idea how i got here, but this is fascinating. I lOVE the sound of all them little creatures munching on the crisp lettuce… I love this entire channel! Thanks.
Hey Tortoise Whisperer! After I’ve seen a good amount of ur vids, I really wanted a tortoise! So for Christmas last year.. my mom got me one! Tucker is healthy and absolutely loves red lettuce with the calcium! Thank you, for inspiring me! 😊
The tortoises seemed calm and secure. Even when you picked up and carried Rhino, he seemed only curious, not defensive. So funny to hear their chorus of chomping on their lettuce.
It’s so sweet seeing them enjoy their pets! I have no doubt if they didn’t like being touched they could snap your fingers right off - those beaks look serious!
Honestly being from and living in Arizona I absolutely love these guys! I have one that Ive had since my oldest brother found her floating along the side of the road after an AZ monsoon about 15 years ago and she's my baby! I want to have lots more eventually! I love that I found you so I can see and learn how you handle them also being in Arizona! When my oldest brother who found her left for Hawaii he obviously couldn't take her with so he gave her to my middle brother who knew NOTHING about torts and only gave her iceberg lettuce for a while and kept her inside, after finding her with soft shell I took her and threw her outside with fruits and the correct greens and she is now flourishing and growing so strong, her shell is 1000x better and she absolutely love snuggles and head rubs! I've had her for about 4 years myself and she's so much bigger and happier, I'm ready for more but am worried about how she will react to them if I do Much love from Arizona ❤️❤️
These videos are some of the most heart warming, cute things I think I've ever seen. Not least because of how much love and care you have for them. Just beautiful 💜
Might have already done and I missed it, but I would love to see more content in the vein of "How and Why did you get into taking care so many tortoises", "What does taking care of tortoise look like?, What needs to be considered?", Etc. Great stuff so far, can't wait for more
Whenever my friends ask me why I have a leopard tortoise, I always just pill up a video of him eating. I know they don't really do much, but the little guy has gotten me through tough times, and has even made me work on my woodworking skills building an enclosure!
Just love this…I have two tortoises adopted years ago because a friends tortoise laid eggs, hence many babies, and some of us teachers were recruited to adopt. My tortoises are clever; they know their names as well…Polly and Molly..I also have a Russian tortoise left to me by a friend who died. She is called Philomena…I love them so much and each time I feed them I realize just how smart they are…what great friends for a retired 77 year old art teacher…since I am getting on in age I worry in their regard…I do not think my children will want them or even know how to take care of them properly…finding your site was a blessing…thanks for all you do for these special animals…
I love all your videos about your darling tortoises! You can cetainly tell how much you love them all ❤️ The sounds of crunching lettuce is so soothing to my heart 😊
I never thought I'd ever want a tortoise as a pet until I saw those babies. They will literally live through your whole life as long as you take care of them properly.
I'm so glad your channel was in my Recommendations! I grew up with a big brother who LOVES reptiles, so I kinda got to love them, too, being a real science geek. I absolutely LOVE watching your videos, they're very relaxing and the tortoise babies are uber-cute.
what a beautiful thing a young man who loves his tortoises so much he dedicates his whole life to their care. they are completely the forefront of this channel I appreciate it and love clicking and watching the entire video every time he posts new content.
I love all your tortoises! After a long day see all of them make me so happy and at peace! Thank you for sharing!! I wish I could pet them! Also what are those flowers the yearlings were eating?
I just love your videos. I get so excited when I see a new video, especially with the babies. You've made my day. It's windy and rainy here and I saw a video pop up on my home page and I was so happy. Thanks for sharing and for taking care of these sweeties.😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks so much for sharing your day with these amazing animals! I live up north in Montana, which means I don't get to see our native testudines for months at a time in the winter -- watching Big Ike & friends is very therapeutic for those seasonal blues. :)
I feed the babies one meal every three days but I only add the calcium once a week (so every other feeding). They mainly eat on their grasses and hays every day 😁🐢
When I first saw this Channel I loved it so much I saw how you were taken care of the tortoises the babies it’s just a really good channel keep up the good work buddy
These guys don't actually hibernate 😁 Some tortoises do hibernate but a few tortoise species like Leopards, Redfoots, yellowfoots, and sulcatas actually do not. 🐢

That's amazing and I'm so happy to hear that! I'm sure she is very happy you rescued her!! 🐢
Thank God there's people like you
That's great
That's made my day reading this 😄
Please remember and keep her protected from raccoons or any other predators though if you have any in the area 🐢
And you should start doing videos and maybe adopt a friend or friends for her. Il subscribe now incase you do.
When he couldn't resist petting the tortoise, that was too pure 🥺
The amount of love in his voice when he says "buddy" is so wholesome
I legit want my retirement job to be a tortoise sanctuary. I just want a bunch of torties and a couple dogs and for them to love each other and love me.
Omg heaven on earth!! 2 of the best animals on earth . Toirtoses are the dogs of reptiles haha
More rewarding than being chained to a desk with idiot humans around!!😄
I love your tortoise. I fell in love with the poor tortoises that were held captive. You are awesome.

These videos are so relaxing to watch I love how the baby's were all huddled together in there table when they were getting some sun before a nice soak
every ''What's up Buddy'' makes my heart happy.
the fact that he knows all their names and which is which, is truly amazing...
People with a genuine love of animals are wonderful.
I was just wondering how he knew who was who or which was which

I love watching Tortoise Whisperers videos man. Such a chill life to live just vibing with all these guys.

Nice to see the tortoises are doing good 🐢🐢😄
I love the crunching sound they make while eating that delicious lettuce!! Your Dog Tillman is adorable!!🖤🥰
The babies are adorable!!! It’s awesome how you interact with the bigger tortoises. You can tell you care for them.

I don't think so
Just seeing all this brings me so much joy.🤗
7:33 is so wholesome and the crunching so soothing - I just want an entire vid of them eating all their greens 🥬 to vibe to
I love that sound, only when it's animals🤗🥬💕

Your middle brother sucks lol. Tortoises aren't difficult to look after, just a bit of research. Glad she's ok now!🐢

Ike was probably so annoyed when you walked over and interrupted him and Damia trying to get intimate 😅
We have been blessed with another beautiful tortoise video :D

I just imagine you put little mics on them to get the eating sounds XD
Wat amazing creatures they are. Thank you so much for sharing ur care that you show. I think they're fab 😍
You should make “What’s up buddy”
t-shirts.
They are the flippen cutest!!!! They’re like puppy’s with shells!!!

But really how so you tell them apart?

These animals are so sweet and lovely😍 they have tortoise paradise at yours 😊
wow these turtles are really gigantic hahahahahaha ,how are the puppies doing?
5:45 this clip makes me so happy THEYRE SO CUTEEE
how can you tell the tortoises' names apart? lol
we all know which one ike is.
he is the active one.
