Great advice on this video learning a lot of your videos xx

Thank u for your advice I’m a new owner only had him 2 months sleeping a lot past 3 weeks not eating every day like he did I thought he might try to hibernate so I will just wake him up every couple of hours as from today he is African spear aged 7 kept in doors thank u for your video of your tortoise xx

Yes, I use to work at PetSmart as a teenager, and the sick room (which is where lots of sick animals that can't be sold, full of parasites and maggots in thier butt! And of course the freezer of so many deceased animals) Most all petstores get all of their pets from puppy mill type operations that are extremely dirty, neglected and sick animals. Chances of getting a healthy pet from a pet store is 50/50 or less and that is bad odds. And the worst thing is the neglect and suffering they put the parents of your petstore animals through just to breed them in mass quantities and make money.

❤❤❤❤ you’re awesome ! Thank you ! The way you’re describing & explaining the different possible situations as if its a movie 😊 u slay ❤

I bought mine from petland. I will say they took care of this guy so well he's healthy and thriving.

someone has to adopt the sick ones and CARE for em, and PRAY them to be WELL AGAIN in JESUS mighty name..PRAYER truely does work yall,..try it!! I cause MIRACLES to occur ALL the time in JESUS name! I prefer to buy/help the SICK ones, the sick,injured animals cuz there the ones who need it the MOST!! Only the sick need a doctor as JESUS said! 3-2-24 4:37pm

Real good advice

Hi ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN PURCHASE THIS TYPE OF TORT FOOD opposed to regular kiwi, mango, butternut etc. I found aloe ONCE but only got one since I didn’t want it going bad. Also cactus pads and edible flowers would be nice too. Thanks in advance

I know this was forever ago, but I just adopted 2 Russian tortoises from a coworker (they were bought for her three year old). They’re in the same enclosure. This is my first night 🥶 They came with almost nothing! Just some lettuce and an enclosure… no hides, stones, no info on soaking, a lamp with a bulb (I did identify)… Bless you. I do feel rushed because they’re HERE lol. But yes, don’t stress… I already have better foods in-the-mail…. But I have a long way to go to treat these guys like family. To anyone- Please reach out if you can help!

Turbo, my tortoise is perfectly fine. I got Him from Petco

This guy is wrong about this I have a Herman’s tortoise I got him from Petco. He is perfectly healthy when I got him a doesn’t have an illness he’s perfectly healthy

Kinda looking dehydrated

❤

That's a retarded tortoise! They are masters of futility!

All all all iimportedtortoises have parasites but treating them is simple

That never happens 😢

Thankyou for the advice, I've got a Russian tortoise, I acquired him after his owner died, I use edible bedding and aspen, but was told dont use aspen, I only used it as his owner used it and I kept it the same, I stress all the time that I'm doing right by him, I've read loads of information and can be confusing, should I change to straw instead, thankyou sharon from uk

Could we have an apdate on Aoki

O wow that's amazing

Yahoo answers 😭😭 that’s how you know this videos old brought back memories

My Muncin loves to eat cucumber 🥒, carrots and squash ofcourse lettuce as well😊

They break my heart. Man, they shouldn’t be allowed to sell animals- big brand stores don’t care

I agree with this video 100%. I am a first time Russian tortoise keeper and I've done so much research and I've heard everyone talking about how bad PetSmart is. luckily I went the route of buying one online I got him from Tortstork and he has had no health issues and I'm very thankful.

Southern Reptiles is an amazing breeder as well. I bout an Eastern Hermanns as a hatchling and they young guy is very lively. With such satisfaction I will be adopting another one. Oh yea, check Southern Reptiles on their KZbin channel and online.

I just bought a Tortious from PetSmart and he won't eat. Is there a way to get rid of the parasites?

Gave me an aneurysm listening to you speak 🤣🤣🤣

Appreciate you making the video! 😊

What kind of museum is that💀

It's so happy and cute

I reccomend tortoises and turtles from big als aquarium

I'm currently in that mood right now with my 4 month old hermann's tortoise.

I'm not American I don't live in America but I know that pet smart has abused there animals cause I have seen vids of people saving beardies from there

I currently have mine in a tank I have a cat and worry about a open habitat I was thinking about a wood raised garden bed w/ legs he's so active outside his habitat but in it he likes to hide and burrow I just want a happy healthy tortellini!

My god

Pet store gave me all wrong information.

Just to make this clear everyone has an opinion that they think they’re right but not at all times it’s a lie spread I got my Russian tortoise at petsmart and it’s very healthy and no they get them from the farm and if they get them wild caught that shouldn’t be a problem petsmart is actually the best place to go to and you can trust me on this one make your research contact a specialist don’t contact employees

I’m rescuing a Russian tortoise tonight, and this really calmed my nerves. Thank you!!!!

Great set up for a tortoise 🐢🐢🌺

Case you don't know this is a Russian Curtis you got to female phone season adult female to sell you don't know just say you know maybe you should be named at to a girls name thanks for listening

Can you over feed a tortoise?

Great video

Wow! What school did you attend??? That whole “I got him when he was 3 and I had him for 5 years, and he is 5 years old!!! Holy Shit bro 😦 Ok! Now pay attention! If you buy a 3 year old turtle, and you have owned the said turtle for 5 years, therefore you have a 8 year old turtle! Now I want you to go attend an basic mathematics class and pretend its all about turtles and tortoises,absorb all the information, because if you pay attention to detail like how you do with the turtles, shit You might become a rocket scientist!
