These kids with their picky appetites!
He stayyyyyys teaching me paitience
Poor angel. 😢 It's always so worrying when our babies won't eat normally. I hope he stays on the right track with his illness. He's been sick for what seems like a LONG time. I wish you the best, precious Tiptoe! Please keep getting better and better. Sending my love. 💚🐢💚
Calm down he's fine
Could he be attracted to the Brite colors ,because it could be wat he sees ( eye problem)? I must say I haven't seen him in awhile no thought I'd catch up sorry he hasn't been well .All of God's great n small are loved by all n I'll pray for tiptoe🙏
Have you thought about planting grass outside his house for him to graze? Im preparing to build a tortoise enclosure here in Georgia. Any ideas?
That was a clever strategy. So happy he is enjoying that breakfast. Nice to see him chowing down on that grass.
Tiptoe is a prime example of how beautiful nature and its creatures are. He is a very lucky boy to have the best life and Mom to take care of him. 🙏🙏👍
He’s a super handsome guy🐢
Tip Toe 🐢 is the most popular Salcata tortoise on the planet. Nice to see him chilling out. Update on Ms. Max 🐢 she is getting a new house today. She outgrew the old house. As for the house I use a clay flower pot with a door cut out of the side. New habitat in late May.
Love you guys ❤
♥️U🐢
Ike the tortoise is pretty popular too, check Ike out
Great to see Tiptoe eating better. Glad he’s getting better.
...and a nap after breakfast is sooo good...the best
Well, as long as he is alert, curious, interested in his surroundings, that helps him to thrive along with necessary nutrients. It’s still only Spring and there have been cool nights and cloudy days, so I would guess his metabolism is still picking up after his winter illness, which did take a lot out of him. You are doing great Tiptoe, with Mama Caitlyn and your extended Doran family, you are getting the best love, nurturing and attention! Peace, Love and Blessings, Buddy, you are loved by many around the world!!
☮️💟🙏♥️🐢♥️💞
What a good boy!

Sending positive vibes & love to our champion,love you lots Tiptoe 👏🏻🙋🏻♀️💋😘🐢🥰😍🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌹⚘️🪻🌷🌼🌻🌵🏆🥇👑🧑🏾🎨🖼🎨🖌♥️
I like when he sprawls out, he looks very relaxed.
He is still the luckiest ❤
Oh I can tell he wants those yummy treats. You can almost see how he is thinking how to get to them. I also feel like I can tell in his face when he is in a “mood”. lol
It is so so interesting to watch these videos back -- you really can see him actively thinking
Awe.. so sweet 😊 I had to take a break from tip toe after I lost my almost 3yr old black leopard Tortoise to a resp problem... He was so loving 😢 but, I have pics and memories 🎉 tortoises are so amazing, very smart, and wise 😊 best to tip toe and family 🎉
Big hugs❤
@@charliethetortoisebrzeczkowski thank you 🙏🥰
He is so lucky to have you in his life ❤
Wonderful to see Tiptoe eating more greens ! 😊
I am so glad he is eating. Good job Caitlin
Such a great idea to make the salad! Whatever it takes to help him out 😊
He's so cute! ❤🐢
thank you
@@caitlinandtiptoe You're welcome. 😊
Clever trick Caitlin Tiptoe enjoyed that 😊❤
Tiptoe is so cute. ❤
When I die I want to come back as Tip Toe
Once when my dog wasn't eating, I went to his bowl and threatened to eat his food. He jumped right in after that. Lol
Have you tried showing him your videos? I showed my daughter's dog, and she understood it was her after I pointed at the screen and said it was her a few times..
Please care of yourself, Tiptoe! I enjoy watching you and your family ❤
Happy to see Tiptoe eating his breakfast. Sometimes we have to trick our babies into eating the good stuff 😊.
Most parents hide the veggies in a dish so their kid WON'T see them 😂
Awww! You used TipToe as a big pillow at the end!
Wow Caitlin was so sassy with that bucket. Good girl Caitlin!
Me trying to imagine how my 7 month old Sulcata will look like that one day!
it is so sooo crazy to think about! I will share some more baby Tiptoe photos soon
@@caitlinandtiptoe OMG yes! cant wait to see baby tiptoe.
Tiptoe to eat the green to get to the treats is good idea, glad Tiptoe eating good and enjoying the suns Ray's ,,,🥬🥒🍓🐢💕👱♀️
ADORABLE !
Oh my word I’m new to ur channel. Tip toe is amazing! Ur for sure his ma ma!! Ty for sharing him with us!
Tiptoe looks really good
Good morning tiptoe and Catlin have a great weekend.
Hoping he continues to eat and feel great. Great job mama!❤
so grateful to see realistic and knowledgeable reptile parents like you with a platform! way to be flexible and passionate ❤️❤️❤️
You are such a good Tortie Mom! TipToes is a lucky boy.
Good to see Tiptoe enjoying his meal ❤❤❤ Caitlin you are a good Mom and person ❤️ I saw Gracie and my heart sinks thinking of my beloved baby Cookie. My birthday was yesterday and I missed her presence and Love❤❤❤❤❤Joan
Tiptoe you’re so beautiful 🐢
It's those teenager years... just wants to lay around and eat fun food... I was the same when I was a teen too. 😊😊
He got his belly full 😊
what a smart idea and it worked. Love to you T and Caitlin!
I hope he is feeling more himself
Good morning Sunshine !!!! Love you T
G’day Tippy. Eat your greens young man
TipToe the 🌷 eater love this guy
Tiptoe you are very beautiful and funny. I like the way you come busting out of your house
Oh man, I really hope he is feeling okay. If you try a softer hay consistency and soak in water with a half cup of Mazuri pellets for 30 minutes... That might do the trick.
I've found that Oxbow's compressed hay biscuits "Harvest Stacks" are a great consistency for torts. You break them up and the compressed biscuit expands. The hay in this form is just softer and shorter pieces.... Easier for them to eat.
And it gets even softer after soaking in water. When you soak with Mazuri pellets, it gets the smell of the pellets all over the hay and the torts really love that. Works like a charm!
All the best, much love 💞🐢
Tiptoe is such a cute name 🎉
I said it before. Thank you, C & T T for reminding me to eat more salads!!! Maybe some Italian dressing will entice the big guy!!😅
Come on TipToe....you can do it!
I can't believe that I enjoy watching him eat
I'm obsessed with his little toe nails. 🐢
Big big hugs❤
Hey there this may sound dumb but cut your vegetables small. Iike a french chef and toss it with the nutrient rich foods maybe the scent alone will make him eat the hay better.
Get out in sun and nature Tippy and you will feel betwer❤❤❤❤
TipToe have a really good looking servant.
Make sure he's eating enough of the right things (too much fruit/veggies that aren't deep leafy greens and/or not enough fiber can cause digestive issues) and make sure he's warm enough!
My tortie HATES eating and drinking enough, so I actually have to hand feed her, wrapping the good stuff (hay, unpreferred greens, etc.) inside a "burrito " of greens she will eat.
Plus: mist or wet down his food for added hydration too.
Maybe beet and carrot *juices* could be used to "dye" hay, then re-dry it out and give it to him. Add color and smells and vitamins to it, making it more appealing for his appetite? So glad to see him standing tall and moving well! "Don't eat the bowl though!" LOL
A great video today, thanks! I have subscribed.
I'm getting a tortoise because I love tortoises and my dad gave my dog away I'm just saying I love your videos. 🐢🐢🐢💚💚💚💚
Hi there Boy! Love 💕 you!
love it 😀
Hey Caitlin.... There's a UA-camr over on Oahu Hawaii..... And she goes by "anywaybritney"....
So the reason I wanted to tell you was she was just swimming underwater right next to this huge sea tortoise... Probably one of tiptoes cousins..... You know .....from 1 million years ago.
1st atlas you don't have to mow your lawn lol tip toe wanted a change of food. Those white/black lines on tips shell are those the growth lines
Question: i saw a video where they put a turtle on a skateboard and it seemed to really love it. Have you tried putting tiptoe on one?
I hope tiptoe is feeling better I love the videos. What temperature does he like at night time
Those greens make me wanna big salad!!!!🥗 🍓🐢👱🏽♀️
How about making a salad dressing... a little watermelon and a few strawberries, some water and put in blender. Then sprinkle on the grass and hay to make them smell like fruit, but he can't 'pick them off' the grass. These videos remind me of when I was gifted a Texas tortoise back before the endangered species act (around '68~'69). He was an adult when I got him, and what a wonderful animal to have around. He used to run up to me licking his chops looking for food. We had a good size yard of grass but we provided extra goodies from time to time... He would bulldoze the fence I made around the carrots and cucumbers I tried to grow till dad helped me make a proper fence. I miss him greatly.
What was the vet’s diagnosis?
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow super❤❤❤❤
Funny the likes junk food just like us . ❤❤❤
It’s a shame T doesn’t have grass in his play area.
Question if he died would you want another one? Is this a hard pet to take care of? Just wondering
hey i loved ur tortoise i had question at what age sulata mate ??
Does Tiptoe go into his enclosure/house by himself or do you have to put him in it?
I have a question, do you treat your grass with pesticides? I would think not because you feed him it but just asking
hey baeautiful have a wonderful week love your sweetheart danny
Милый малыш 🩵🐢
I think that he needs something natural but safe to clean him out and promote digestion.
Certainly worth researching 🙏🐢🐢♥️♥️🇦🇺
I hope everything is okay.
❤️🙏🐢❤️🙏🐢❤️🙏🐢❤️🙏🐢❤️🙏🐢❤️
Do tortoises eat aloe leaves?
Could it be that grass doesn't hold the same nutritional value in the winter months? Maybe he knows this instinctively.
He wants pizza ! Mine loved it and noodles.
Hi Caitllin,
Tip toe doesn’t like the cucumber seeds?
Whats going on w his appetite?
Tiptoe: "I need to eat more?!?! I outweigh mom by a hundred pounds! Someone put me on the treadmill!"🤨
Does he wake up same time everyday?
Hello 👋 ❤❤🐢🐢🐢
Is he drink ing still or he just longing 😊
Hi Caitlin, I notice you are wearing a warm top, could it be he is eating less if he is feeling cool?
Does he eat worms? Like night crawlers fishing worms. Or any meat/fish/poultry? It is very dense food.
Does he play ball? Can we see that if he's in the mood?
What's wrong with the cucumber seeds?
I wonder if he’s favoring colorful food for their nutrients. Maybe his body is telling him he needs more bit of a specific type of vitamin?
Missing my tiptoe fix, how ya doin buddy?
