Tortoise care is so important! In addition to giving him the proper diet, housing, lots of sunshine, and large yard to graze in, he also needs regular soaking (aka Spa Days) and occasional trimming for his beak. If it grows too long it can potentially cause problems eating and we wouldn’t want that! Eating is his fav pastime! Can you tell he trusts me completely and knows I’m his mama? #tortoisecare #iloveanimals #love #caring #commitment #sweetness #tortoise #sulcata #sulcatatortoise | Tilly G

Day 2 of International Turtle and Tortoise Week; The Forstens Tortoise! We often think of tortoises and herbivores that opt for whatever vegetation or leafy greens they can graze. But the Forstens Tortoise breaks the mold with their unqiue omniverous diet that also includes invertebrates, carrion, and even mushrooms! #reptile #reptiles #reptilelove #reptilelover #reptilekeeper #reptilefanatics #reptilesofinstagram #turtle #turtles #turtlepower #turtleturtle #turtlesofinstagram #tortoise #tortois

Time to say goodbye to these tortoises! (Almost) 😥 Brumation (reptile version of hibernation) is an important part of the annual cycle for many species of turtle and tortoise. Hermann’s tortoises are no exception. This can easily be done for your animals under captive management if you follow a few simple steps. 🙌🏻#gardenstatetortoise #hermannstortoise #hibernation #tortoise #turtle #animalfacts #wildlifeonearth | Garden State Tortoise
