Feeding Day for the Tortoises! (adults, babies, eggs!)

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

A big part of my videos was my dog Tillman who recently passed away. I took a small break from posting longer videos like this but kept posting shorts here and there. But I’m back to posting and I’m sorry for the break. Next week I’ll be posting another video and will be more active 🐢💚

[@nineteenct]

Rest well Tillman!!

[@puzzlegirl59]

So sorry for your loss. RIP Tillman.

[@AverageGamer-us1tr]

As someone who lost their dog recently, I understand the feeling. I hope Tillman didn’t suffer

[@JoelGonzalez-ud7qo]

Sorry for your loss, every one of our pets is family. Fur or shell, they are all are a big part of our lives.

[@TheAerosolNinja]

I'm sorry for your loss. ❤️

[@keldaMouse]

My grandpa has a tortoise. Herbie’s just a few younger than he is, and they both act similar. This year Ol' Herb has turned 70, and since they didn’t know when Herb was born, they celebrate their birthdays on the same day.

[@PhoenixRoseYT]

That’s literally so cute 😭 I hope to adopt a tortoise one day and emulate this 💗

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

Amazing! My dad actually got Ike my 48 year old tortoise when Ike was a hatchling! So he has been in the family longer than me haha

[@nameless5512]

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer My grandpa said that if he croaks before Herb, my dad would be the one to take care of Herb. Herb’s a Leopard tortoise, and his favorite food is cabbage or strawberries.

Glad that you're back.👍missed hearing you say "hey buddy"!🤗

You’re such a great Tortoise Daddy! I’ve been calling my dog “buddy” since I started watching your vids. It’s touching to see how well you take care of them

[@kris10ryan54]

I am amazed at the dexterity of these big creatures!

So very sorry for your loss of Tillman. He was a special pup.

[@gregscavuzzo5457]

Sorry for your loss, I always enjoyed your dog in the videos, glad you are back posting I missed you, have a Merry Christmas

[@legatobluesummers1994]

That crunch sound of damia eating the cactus pad is so satisfying 😂 keep up the amazing work with keeping this species alive!

[@laurasmith1445]

❤❤Love it❤❤ Always Fun to see their sweet smiling happy faces You take such great care of them all I am very impressed and enjoy all your videos and all your tortoise family So sorry for your loss of Tillman.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Peps-qt8nm]

2:32 bro is all ready tasting it 😂😂😂

[@JoelGonzalez-ud7qo]

How exciting for Damia to resume laying. Any theories why? It can't be lack of TLC or nutrition, etc. Your tortoises are surely loved.

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

Very exciting! I'm not too sure why exactly but it's been about 2-3 years since she has laid. I did some research and it is believed that tortoises can lay fertile eggs up to four years after mating. 🐢

[@13DreamRiders]

So do you leave the eggs where she buried them? ​@@TheTortoiseWhisperer

[@crimzonempire4677]

They really just decide when they want to lay eggs 😂

[@ItsAtilax]

They are so cute and adorable. Watching these literally can change your mood from the worst to the absolute most amazing. Keep up with the good work and friendship with your friends!

[@asolarsystem-i3e]

fr, i watch his channel all the time and i watch his videos when i’m sad and then i’m in a happy cheerful mood! 😊

[@COPCOOL]

At 2:25 *sniff* " OH YEAH VEGETABLES CRUNCH MY FAVORITE" i like that part and by the way i like turtle and tortoise :)

[@zealful]

Sorry for your loss. I was never interested in tortoises’ diet until I came to your channel. Thanks for the great content.

[@mikeybhhs]

I’ve said this numerous times and I stand by it still. Ike is a UNIT.

[@liudizzle]

I can't even imagine how much energy it would take to dig all that dirt!

[@YouLookism]

Ike is so sweet and well tempered 💚 and i can see how much you love him, Ike and Damia are my favs 😃🫶🏻

[@elclikerinsomnio03]

Awww, so cute, Loved Turtles😍😍😍

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Lettuce, zucchini, bananas, cantaloupe, and spring greens? Shoo, that sounds like a pretty good salad! I'd eat that.

[@willow_swiftie13]

RIP Tillman you and Ike were the best of friends😭😔

[@jonathankelly4222]

I just discovered your channel and love it! Tortoises are my favorite animals! Sorry to hear about your pup. They're family members and it can hurt to lose one.

[@JohnnyFarcry]

This dude's positivity is infectious. These videos are so chill

[@TimmWebbYT]

Tortoises are the most skilled patient animals in the world, I would not be able to dig a burrow like that

[@Oliviamed891]

You treat your tortoises so amazing thank you for being so kind to animals :)

[@kaisersoza7937]

Missed you cousin. Glad you’re back. Sorry for losing Tillman. Congrats to Damia. Merry Xmas

[@ki-ug6bt]

i genuinely missed your videos 😭😭 when i heard ‘IKE’ i screamed because it’s been so long since i’ve heard about him 🥹

[@ithinkitsautumn]

Rest in Puppy Paradise Tillman ❤🐾 I loved getting to see him in all your videos, it felt like he was my friend too 💕 I loved how much he played with his Woody toy. I will always remember him. I hope you’re doing okay now, and letting yourself grieve as you need to. Sending love and hugs to you and all the pets!!!

[@ayoutubechannel7143]

Nice to see you back posting again. Watching along with my lil Hermann's on my lap

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

That's amazing haha thank you so much for the support! 😁🐢

[@nikitmoisieiev5551]

Love your tortoises, I missed them since the last video❤

[@DerekWitt]

I love watching your tortoises just hamming it up, especially Ike. Sunday, I went to the Overland Park (Kansas) Arbeteum. I saw a lot of koi in the large pond swimming upto the wooden bridge begging for food. Right in the midst were a couple of turtles (couldn' t tell whether they were snapping or box turtles). I think they were uneasy about being amongst the fish, and were trying to keep their distance. I think the koi couldn't care less about the koi. Just an fascinating sight to behold.

[@obsidianchao]

They’re sooo cute!! Especially when they’re all eating together

[@jmtimmons]

What a wonderful video. I had to check the date to be sure I'm current. How exciting to have eggs!! Yay!!!

[@CATS-mh3sc]

tortoises are so cute

[@22seanmurphy]

Just adorable my marginated is just 2 years old and i can spend ages watching her eat they are just so fascinating 😊😊😊

[@MillaRaeDeshibeau]

I love learning about your tortoises. Not too sure if you have a video on all your animals, ages, and how they came to your rescue.

[@Lisa-qy3bp]

Love this channel 🐢

[@AmazingJeeves]

Sorry to hear about Tillman. When we watched this video, before we saw your comment, my toddler daughter asked "Where's Tillman?" (your videos get watched a lot here and are often requested). We'll miss him and we're sorry for your loss.

[@tanglethelemurfan101]

The babies are so cute! I have a pet turtle now and named it Squirtle and I love him so much :D!

[@lessermook7608]

I know so much work goes into caring for these Buddies But bro is living the dream

[@grantdavenport7904]

No video would be complete with a hey buddy !!!

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

There’s definitely a few in there haha 😁🐢

​@TheTortoiseWhisperer How many tortoises do u have and do u know any thing about russian tortoises and how to shave his beak down

[@nyancat4292]

I love that I found your channel and its super cool that you've got 35s flying around ya. 🐢

[@MARKUSLOVESEVERYONE]

i honestly think the rescue tortoises should get more screen time. they're just so cute, but very underrated.

[@seanwhitman8353]

Sorry to hear about Tillman. He was a great dog and a feature of many of your videos. But I am glad you took the time you needed. On a side note, damn. Did not expect the F-35 flyby.

[@poweringteraphobia2837]

Ike’s got a whole tunnel to himself. I didn’t know they dug that Much

[@animelover29495]

Finnally after 8 months! Edit: I just got to know your dog past away that's why you took a break from posting long videos I'm feeling so sad for your dog and you may his soul fly high ❤️ rip Tillman

Bro, that was nice 👍. RIP Tillman🙏

ok, long time no see, im happy to see again the tortoise

[@DesertdwellersAnimalden]

Beautiful!!!❤❤

[@ZippyVtuber]

The babies are so cuuute >_

[@donnadixon289]

Really surprised to see how deep she laid her eggs. Those poor little hatchlings have quite the job digging themselves out.

[@faded6927]

I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t expecting the surprise F-35 appearance

[@Doggie_San]

Dose Ike have any foods he really likes?

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

Oh yeah his favorite is Spineless Cactus! He loves it!! 🌵🐢

[@falloutworldrecord]

I just discovered your channel, love at first sight for both me and my partner. I noticed the small concrete stomp Ike had to go through to get into the backyard with the ladies. I noticed he seemed to have some minor difficulty getting over it and scratching his belly. Do you think adding a small ramp might be a good addition for their quality of life when moving around? Obviously you know more than me, I'm curious to hear your take

[@annettemurphy2317]

This guy is going to have a million babies running around. IKE must be the father of all the babies.

[@C_and_G_Bros]

Hey just wanted to say congrats on damia for laying eggs. P.S love your vids and please comet me back

Bwaddy 🐢

[@lifestyles2482]

What about predators? How to you protect them? And do the big ones like Ike have to worry about that?

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

So as for the baby tortoises when they go in their outdoor enclosure, they have safe tops that goes over their enclosure. But we don’t have any predators that mess with the big tortoises 🐢

[@Nikki1994_]

I have a Burmese stars tortoise and sometimes I get lost on what to feed her and was curious if you can maybe make it a little easier for me your videos are a help. but doesn’t matter that it’s a different species of tortoise on what they eat

Im sorry about Tillman, he was a great co-host. I'll always remember him carrying his Woody, he was a hoot. Im actually wondering what do you with all the little babies? There must be so many

[@ms.bennie9055]

❤❤wow, so glad my tortoise, Mekon, is a male. Would not know what I'd do with a female. You're fortunate that they like hay, our tortoise will not eat it.. but does graze on lawn grass... and very picky. Is that normal, or is he just spoiled?? I learn a lot from youe videos, thank you!!

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

He may be a little spoiled but all my babies are spoiled as well haha that just means you love them! I’m sure he is eating healthy but if there is hay out for him to graze on I’m sure he would get a routine going and eat on the hay 😁🐢

[@indirabandinelli4127]

2:10 they be eating good today

[@b20aldo]

Where are you located sir? My wife and I have been looking into getting a tortoise for a while now. Also, do you have any contact information?

Do you live in AZ? Just saw that f22 raptor and I always see them fly by whenever I go down surprise and 303 area.

[@mysulcata]

Awesome. Do you feed them like this every day for many turtles? I have one turtle. I feed it 1-2 times a day.

[@Nature1sAmaz1ng]

They tortoise whisperer I hope you see this but i have some store products for you to make some 1. A picture of an African sulcata tortoise phone case 2. A picture of an African sulcata tortoise shirt? 3. A backpack? 4. A good one could be a hat That is it if you make any of those i would buy❤️🐢

[@e.b.56]

Hey man, just wondering if you take any tortoises in? I know someone that wants to get rid of their tortoise. Tbh, that tortoise isn’t well taken care of. He’s healthy and all but where he is kept is not a good space for a tortoise his size. I watch your videos all the time, and I’m also in Arizona. So just thought I would ask. Thanks.

[@positivelynegative9149]

What would make her lay after not laying for so long? 🤔

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

It’s actually believed that some tortoises can hold their eggs up to four years after mating! Sometimes they just don’t feel it’s the right spot or time to lay 🐢🥚
