Giant Tortoise Bulldozes His House Down | Cuddle Buddies

[@PoorMansAlmanacNews]

He knows his size. He's literally like look at all this s*it in my way. 😂

[@GenerationJonesi]

Hehe! He doesn't Think he owns the backyard. He owns the backyard. ❤

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

😂 For sure!! 😅🐢💞

SEAMUS IS LIVING LIFE ON HIS TERMS!! HE ISN'T HARMING NOBODY!! HIS MOM LOVES HIM JUST THE SAME!! HE IS TOO CUTE FOR WORDS!!

[@EricS-uf9mv]

Don't buy ENDANGERED SPECIES from random men & women who claim they, "Just can't keep 'em anymore." These people are likely wildlife brokers & wranglers. They sell exotic animals, in this case illegally poached & critically endangered Giant Tortoises, to rich people as "pets". These animals are illegally harvested from the Galápagos Islands and surrounding island chains for profit. Several Giant Tortoise subspecies from less patrolled areas have already gone extinct from poaching. So YES, Seamus's mom (and aunt who bought him) ARE causing harm. Buying endangered species is a net harm to conservation efforts and only fuels more illegal poaching. Plus it harms the individual animal themselves... Why do you think Seamus "loves" his ball so much? It's because he literally LOVES it... or is attempting to "love it". He thinks the ball is another tortoise and is chronically trying to mate. Unfortunately for Seamus and his entire species who are quickly going extinct, he can't.

[@dad4ever-c90]

In life, even patio furniture is nothing more than a BUMP in the road. You will always get where you're going as long as you keep moving forward. Seamus is both a philosopher and a role model!

Seamus knows how big he is he just doesn't care. He is so adorable...seeing him run AWWW

[@Beth-zg6gb]

When you’re a little tank you can pretty much do whatever you want, lol! 💕

[@noradinneen1]

What a character! You are so kind to him.

[@michelleblackley9770]

My old neighbors had a turtle like this, his name was Brutus. He was awesome! They had converted an old chicken coop for him, he had his own veggie garden to munch on and his own pool to chill out in. His house had two barn doors that had 2 cute little wreaths hanging on them they were decorated for various holidays. I loved having him across the street, I would walk over and see him as often as I could. They moved about a year ago, Miss you Brutus!

[@thetessellater9163]

@@michelleblackley9770 tortoise, not turtle, they live in the sea

[@geewizzzkid]

Turtles love any kind of water. We had huge.snappers in the pond down the road for years when I was little.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

That's amazing! Brutus's owners clearly spoiled him rotten.😍 What was Brutus's personality like? Did he have any quirks?😊

[@michelleblackley9770]

@ he was awesome. Had a red ball that he pushed around. He had his own “fenced” in area in their back yard, fence was about 2’ tall. He loved munching on his veggies, if I remember correctly his house was heated and air conditioned. He had worn a path in certain parts of the grass where he walked more. He absolutely loved his little pool, that’s where I would find him most of the time when I would visit. I’d never been around a tortoise like that before so I enjoyed learning about him. I was sad to see him go when they moved.

[@kari2030]

Love that you included the info about exotic animals at the end of the video…great job!💖💖💖

[@candaceburlingame4060]

Seamus is large but cute! I love his personality, and I'm Amazed at just how fast he can move when he wants something! ❤🐢 😊

[@janetdear6429]

🤧 Aww he's super gorgeous, bless you for having him in your family. He's certainly a bundle of mischief and fun. Cracking good video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍

[@lincolnyaco5626]

Awww...He is just GREAT! I'm so glad yr taking care of him.

[@AR-yv3dj]

Nice to see you daddy tortoise 😁🐢

[@starmadchen]

I'm amazed at how smart and playful tortoises are. Go Seamus!🐢

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Have you learned anything new about tortoises from watching Seamus?☺️😍

[@starmadchen]

@@CuddleBuddiesChannel Absolutely! They really have a lot of personality which makes them very interesting.

[@anniej1834]

Cute cute cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@firstcynic92]

Make sure you have arrangements of who will take him in 30+ years when you can no longer care for him. He's going to outlive you.

[@malcolmdean6899]

Just look at tiptoe and Caitlin. She's 29ish and tiptoe is 22. Solcata tortoises can live to 100 plus.

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

You're right!!! We have the same kind of tortoise. We're in our late 40s, and Benji's only 14 years old.... But we don't have kids of our own, so we're trying to figure out a legacy plan for our sweet Benjamin!.. Very stressful!! 😕

[@terrywilliams7825]

Please get him a mate, thanks for sharing 👏 👍

[@rm71991]

Ok captain obvious we know this already

[@lindaburt6518]

Bless you for taking Seamus in and providing him with the love and support he needs. I had no idea tortoises were so cool until I watched some videos.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Jessica's heart is full of love for Seamus, and it shows! He's one lucky tortoise.🐢 What was your favorite tortoise video or fact that surprised you?

[@jemills6506]

Aww,he's so handsome! ❤ We have one too! We love him so much! Ours is named Bowzer. If you don't want them going through something you have to use solid material, because like you said they're like bulldozers.... If they can see through it they will try to (and usually do) go through it.

[@Tralfaz190]

Thankyou for sharing this story

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Thank you for watching! Do you have a favorite part of the video?💚

[@ruthbrewer466]

I watched a show about exotic animal vets on television. One of the vets had a Sulcata tortoise that strolled away, and they had to get a sturdy large vet tech with a wheelbarrow to retrieve it from a mile down the road. When smaller tortoises came for a vet visit, they used a rolling stool under the animal to get it from place to place.

[@bobertjones2300]

I believe the instinct to beed is kicking which explains his bulldozing and ball chasing in search of a mate.

[@earlthepearl6414]

Too cute! Turtles are the best!!!! I love this channel. It has become a part of my daily routine. I would be lost without it. I get my cuteness fix from here each day!

[@nanook01]

Lovely to watch

[@tiffanycenti4503]

I love your Turtle and your doggies. So adorable 😍

[@MS-tw7uc]

Dark colors like black make them aggressive because they see colors differently than we do. He's definitely a cutie 🐢💚

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

That’s so interesting! How do you think Seamus's personality would change with brighter colors?🧡

You should get him a little skateboard to zip around on!

[@samw6048]

They are like little dinosaur bulldozers.

What's your favorite dinosaur comparison for Seamus?😝

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

Did anyone ever tell her that tortoises often see things their size and level as a mate?

[@elin_]

Seamus the shameless 😎

[@JennyViljoen-rm2ic]

He's perhaps hungry or thirsty and looking for something to eat. They eat grated carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, grated apple, strawberries. Had a rescue for 30 years. Good luck.

[@dianarobinaugh1285]

The ball resembles his color. I think he's wanting a mate it makes sense.

[@jeangray5468]

I would love to add a reptile to my life, but I’m not settled enough right now. I want to travel (camper van), and while my mammals can adapt, I’m afraid the cold blooders need more consistent environment. I appreciate your taking on the life plus long commitment of a family tortoise

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Traveling can be tough with pets. We appreciate your responsible thinking. What kind of reptile do you dream of having one day?☺️

Seamus the bulldozer

[@abrahamguitar]

You can have a garden or you can have a tortoise, but not both.😂

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

0:32 Again: I refer you to his ancestry. He does own it all.

[@yourbuddy6556]

Seamus : Le Bron who? Give us each 50 years to train and let's see if he can outplay me then.

[@thetessellater9163]

They do spend much of their time in the wild feeding - he's probably looking for food most of the time

[@sarina76667]

“You can’t go through the fence buddy.” Seamus: “Watch me.” I know that look well. I have a Russian tortoise. They all do that. Go around the obstacle where they know they’ll fit and have the shortest distance to travel? No! “If my head fits, the rest of me should fit just fine! I’m going through the narrowest, most inconvenient path to get to that spot…for tortoise reasons! And when everything is displaced and destroyed in a mound of debris, I shall climb on top and take a victory nap!”

[@Chichi-rd9my]

Seamus want to mate, find him a partner, it's a bear necessity 😂😂😂

[@ingridingrid9216]

If you ever decide to get rid of him there is no better place than the (Ark of Grace) run by Amanda Grace upstate NY.

Hes trying to mate the ball...

[@bradleydanek3958]

His ancestors have been here, for millions of years. Maybe he knows how bad he is? Maybe?

[@Eleora1997Msia]

Is a big boy thing... Wanna find girlfriend and wanna fight for love. Is a mating season , keep in mind having pet. Luckily his owner given him a stress ball for relief stress, great choice

[@Tralfaz190]

Male tortoises dry hump a lot of stuff, that reminds them of a female cloaca, or body p, or both

Don't put him on social media. You don't want a Peanut repeat.

[@Tralfaz190]

?

[@Lisa-qy3bp]

😂

[@ZimLanfire]

How is it he's not biting everyone/everything now and then. We had a neighbor who had a tortoise and it was always biting at people and things.

[@WilliamWhitehead-o9q]

You do not want to get him a girlfriend because he would hurt her or even kill her. We have two of them which weigh 120 pounds apiece and if you have ever seen one of them ram something like another tortoise, you would be shocked. It’s like taking care of a toddler. It’s a lot of work. Lol we have two of them. The male has to be separated from the female.😁

[@Irosicndosjnf]

The husband is scared? 🙄

[@dfense434]

I have the same problem with mine. SMH lol

[@171QA]

XD

[@HelenParsons-ky1rl]

Wouldn't he be better off in a zoo with other tortoise, I'm sure he'd like the company. You can always check on his welfare too.

[@precbsfender]

You should of named him John Deere..

[@Eminems_woman_4_life]

Seamus is like, but mum, the other side of the fence looks so much more interesting

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Have you ever had a pet that loved to explore, too?😍

[@idellbrown1825]

He needs to go to a rescue for him, possibly a zoo situation where he'll be taken care of. He sexually frustrated and the ball represents a female and the toe of a boot or shoe!! Do the right thing and let him live and breed naturally in the proper setting! Wake up people!

[@vuppuluriraghuramireddy5757]

Bring him a women ❤.

[@KathleenHouston-j3n]

He needs a girlfriend!!!❤️

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

Is there a reason these people will not give him a friend?

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Male tortoises are very territorial and generally cannot be housed together. If they got him a female friend, then they would have lots of babies on their hands.... Typically male tortoises are solitary animals, and as long as they are providing him with lots of love, engagement activities, and affection... He's a happy camper!! 👍🐢💞😊

[@dottielynch9763]

Leave the exotic animals alone in their natural habitat. There are plenty of domesticated animals that need homes.

[@kae303x]

Please get him to a sanctuary where he can live a normal tortoise life with a mate. This is a wild animal not a cute house pet. Seriously ....🤦🏼‍♀️
