Tiny Tortoise Grows Into 175 Pound Bulldozer And Makes Girl Laugh | Cuddle Buddies

[@ninongvaper2969]

Everybody is gone but tiptoe will still live for another 150- 250 years

[@paulcarey1708]

Definitely a lucky guy... BUT PLEASE... EVERYONE: Don't run out and get one of these magnificent creatures as a pet until you really-really-really-really think about it. This young lady & her supportive family are exceptional and obviously have a great set up for TipToe, but only because they have made the a huge commitment.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Absolutely agree! 🐢💕 Owning a tortoise like Tiptoe is a significant commitment and requires careful consideration. It's crucial to ensure you have the resources, space, and commitment to provide proper care for these magnificent creatures. Thanks for highlighting this important message!

[@lisabaltzer4190]

He is cute, but I am going to stick with my two basset hounds. They are enough pets for me. I have had 6 of them. For me, they are the perfect pet.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

Tortoises can be a lifelong commitment. If you'r thinking about getting one keep that in mind. Also make sure you have access to a veterinarian who understands tortoises. Also, do your research! Make sure you understand habitat and dietary needs.

[@mcmewsen]

Aren't reptile pets also capable of spreading salmonella? So, just another thing to remember if considering getting a tortoise--even a small one! You'll be washing your hands a lot!

[@jimvandemoter6961]

@@mcmewsen Retiles digest their food with bacteria, not acids like warm blooded animals. That's why there's bacteria, salmonella being part. Land animals like tortoises aren't as bad as aquatic or semi aquatic turtles. That just means you need to wash your hands after you handle them. Actually, you should wash your hands after handling any animal.

[@louisejohnson6057]

​@@AR-yv3djGoogle Turtoise. There are several entries with that spelling, just as there's several for the spelling Tortoise. Same critters, but with minor spelling differences. And sometimes the exact same type of animal can have many different names, one of the best examples of this is the animal that is called the Cougar in my part of Canada. Other names for these beautiful creatures are Mountain Lion, Panther, Puma, Ghost Cat, and about 35 more names throughout the world. And with words in general, even within the English language itself, spellings can and do vary. For example in Canada we spell this word behaviOUr, and Americans spell it behavior, we spell it centRE, and Americans spell it centER. Canadians usually spell words with an "OU", whereas American English uses only the "O". Some examples are, humour, colour, favourite, armour etc. Just within the English language itself spellings can and do change, people from different state or provinces can end up calling the exact type of cookies multitude of different things. Where I'm from (My hometown is the Capital city of British Columbia, Canada) we use the term Apartment Building, where I live now, on the Great Canadian Prairies, in Manitoba's capital city the term used is Apartment Block. Language must flow, and it must change and invite new words and spellings into the mix. Without change, language dies.

[@BabyMayCry]

What I like about Cuddle Buddies is the PSA at the very end of the videos where they showcase exotic/uncommon pets.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

We're glad you appreciate the PSA! 🌟 It's important to highlight the responsibilities and considerations that come with owning exotic or uncommon pets. We're committed to promoting responsible pet ownership and ensuring the well-being of all animals. Thanks for your support! 🐾

[@Tassie85]

He has charisma! And he is quite handsome. A very happy tortoise, for sure!

[@modelsteamers671]

I very much doubt he's happy.

[@tigerlily0988]

I love that they featured a pet that isn’t soft and cuddly, and something that isn’t typically classified as “cute.” Tiptoe is living his best life and I’m so glad they added the disclaimer at the end about exotic pets! They’re a serious commitment!

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Absolutely! 🐢💖 Tiptoe may not fit the traditional definition of 'cute,' but he's definitely living his best life. We're glad you appreciated the reminder about the commitment of exotic pets. It's crucial to ensure they receive proper care and attention.

[@joycampi7233]

I can't imagine walking down the sidewalk and seeing a tortoise coming my way!😂 Tiptoe is so very fortunate to have you as his owner. He is loved and well-cared for by everyone around him ❤❤❤❤

[@vaughnmojado8637]

I have a Texas Tortoise myself. He came into our garage. We had no idea how he got in there. We thought he was a Desert Tortoise. But a conservator told me what he was. 4 years later, we found out he was our neighbors and they weren’t sure where he went. So we’ve had him for almost 8 years now. He’s about 33 years old. They aren’t supposed to be pets. But they can never be released once they become dependent upon us for food. Now we have to leave him in our will just like she does. I hope he lives a good long life with her. She definitely loves him.
