Meet My Tortoises! (Feeding, Enclosures, and More) - Daily Routine

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

The other day I got some UNBELIEVABLE footage of my tortoise laying eggs. We also went around and fed ALL the tortoises and put the GoPro on Ike for the day! Full Video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYSzmmOsYraqn8U

Ike is a great guy, even during intercourse, he's mentally supporting other people by constantly saying WOW.

@@boneman137 Some of those must be the offspring from some of the other males, l would guess. It’s sort of a “Tortoise Commune” around there - Seventies- style “If you can’t be with the one you love, Love the one you’re with”.

[@nikki128]

Love this channel. You can tell that all these tortoise are well taken care of.

[@jgriffin9084]

I have logistical questions. How much does it cost to do this? Are you paid to rescue and heal the tortoises? How do you pay for all of this? What will you do with all the babies? You obviously know what you are doing and are a very good care taker. I am genuinely curious about the financial and time cost of keeping so many.

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

I'm so sorry for the late response!! So I just love tortoises and I've always been around them. Most of my tortoises are rescues and here in AZ it's the perfect weather for Sulcata Tortoises so they have the whole yard to explore (and space is very important for sulcatas). Unfortunately I'm not able to keep every single baby with the amount of babies they have, so after I make sure they are 100% healthy and ready, I'll let some go to new and good homes. I also like to send them in pairs so they aren't alone.

[@Aashvark]

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer so nice

[@7LemonGwen]

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer , why even breed them when there's so many that are in the pet trade already that need adoption? (Genuinely curious and didn't see a video with this topic.)

This is an amazing video! It is super enjoyable to see the tortoises roaming about their enclosures. The Ike Camera was so funny and entertaining.

[@jazzyj4765]

What an awesome video! I love watching you interact with your tortoises. Have you thought about doing a live Q&A? How long does it take you to check on all of them, clean, feed them, let the babies soak, and all the extra stuff you do? How many tortoises do you have, including the rescues? Will the rescues be able to come out with the other tortoises? Are tortoises territorial? I look forward to your next video!

[@Patjuhhe]

I've just been watching a video from like a year ago and right after that one I'm watching this one. Ike grew so much in a year!! He's definitely a BIG, happy tortoise 🐢🐢

What you do during rainy season for their enclosure and what about cleaning their poop? Regularly? I've a lot to ask. 😅 Please be patience. Cheers to your work. I loved it!

[@TheTortoiseWhisperer]

I live in Arizona ☀️ These guys built all the burrows themselves! But during the rainy season I temporarily cover up the burrows and then the tortoises will stay inside of their heated tortoise shed. And yeah they poop a ton! hahaha lots of work but I love it 🐢

[@brianmccarthy5557]

The poop is good plant fertilizer as it's just processed vegetation. They're vegans.

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer Does their poop make good compost for the garden after it decomposes? I mean, they are vegetarians, so there's no chance there might be pathogens like with canines.

[@CidYoung-REALTOR]

@TheTortoise Whisperer I want to know the answer to that question as well. Also, I may have asked this on another video, but why do you refer to some tortoises as rescues? Were they sick, injured, neglected or what? (Did someone grow tired of all the care they need, and give them up for adoption? And, also why do you keep them separated?

I have come to come to enjoy your content very much, I love nature programs and I figured I'd likely watch a minute or two of your content and move on. That was about a month ago. I never imagined they would be so fascinating. I've come to love KZbin because of content I'd never see - or even dream of looking for.
