Tortoise Egg Adventure!

[@afungiwholikesturtles4676]

“There’s always something goin on here” needs to be on the back of the KK shirt 😅👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ratdoto2148]

That time lapse is a really good showing of just how much they agitate the soil around the nesting ground to throw off predators.

[@oretho6406]

It made me kind of jealous, my own backyard is full of pits and bumps, they would easily straighten things out... I was impressed they do this in such a short amount of time... ;)

[@NinaBug36]

If you think about any animal that builds a nest...a whole lot of work goes into it. It’s so wonderful to watch. Thank you for sharing this Kenan.

[@glennusher4160]

Wowww. They really work super hard to lay eggs and burry them// She looks like a little BullDozer... But i like the way he flipped her to her side and see her stubby legs wiggle.. HAhaaa Tortoises and Turtle are super cute.

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Enjoyed the time lapse. What a tortoise!

[@Wolfpug]

I never grow tired of watching you dig up the tortoise nests. Lobo is doing great!! When he jumps on you like that, tell him "OFF". Down is for when you want him to lie down. He did a very good sit, tho. For not knowing dogs, you are doing a great job training him.

[@cindybell9859]

Hi Kenan She is such a good mom. The time lapse was great. She did not want you to dig up her eggs. 36 is a lot of eggs. Lobo is well behaved. Sorry about the black throat eggs. But Jerry always good luck we with my the breeding. Soon you may have another clutch soon. I like to see you did up the eggs. You are such a good turtle dad.🐊🦎🐍🐢♥️Cindy

[@JanieAmericanIrish7777]

Lobo barking at her like ," Leave my Dad alone !" 😄 Lots of eggs. She is a good mama.

[@davidvento5481]

*Lobo;* “Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!” *Kenan;* _“SHUT UP,_ er... be quiet Lobo.” *Lobo;* ......

[@arobbins8755]

That Time lapse of the egg laying was awesome. What an incredible process. Thanks for sharing all the happenings at the Kamp.

[@LiLJESS.]

Poor turtle lol all that work she did to lay them and cover them up and Kenan just digs up her eggs and takes them lol poor girl, i know it has to be done lol she worked hard trying to hide those eggs lol 😆

[@vicaroo001]

Lobo is growing SO FAST! Good job, Big Mama! I love to see how she protects her nest.

[@nautilusshell6092]

I love the concern of Lobo with his little bark when all the turtles show up to defend the nest!

[@BoydXplorer]

Great tortoise egg exploration. Enjoyable to watch. Tnx4sharing 🙋

[@itsLizJaramillo]

36!? Nice! And seeing her hide the nest over that large area was really cool

[@CricketsMa]

Holy cow! That’s a huge hole! Bless her heart. That’s a lot of work, and she filled it in perfectly.

[@drenee9716]

I was actually going to say what the other person said. I have watched Turtles dig before, but never watched in a time lapse video, them filling it back up. Very cool, now I see why the eggs are hard to find. When they're done you can't tell. Thanks really enjoyable. ☺❤

[@TheMrjrob7684]

You're an amazing dude Kenan. Always enjoy your videos.

[@kandresnolasco7328]

This video was nice😊hope all the eggs turns fertile and hatch

[@susanmartin3762]

🤣🤣🤣😅😂😂 "Oh I gotta keep her like that for a minute!" 😳 Aahhh look at her sweet lil legs just paddling the air!! Oh my God you are just too much Kenan!! I've never seen someone flipping a giant tortoise over on purpose before!! 😚🤣🤣😂What must SHE be thinking about when you do that!! There needs to be a sitcom about Kamp Kenan.... in fact... dude you are living the dream of millions of us!! How crazy cool would it be to watch your life being an Emmy award winning show????!! Your daily life is SO REWARDING AND FUN TO WATCH!!

[@Fizzybuzz]

I cant believe Big Mama digs so deep and those babies would have to dig through all of that dirt to get out! Great video and love seeing how big Lobo is getting!

[@kezzaman]

Shes trying to put them out of reach from the pesky hooman

[@laurenpelling4079]

Love how she covered them up so carefully

[@silviavoss6411]

Dogs love eggs my Staffy would eat them eggs in a heart beat although for whatever reason some pups gravitate towards eating poop, it'll pass Lobo seems to be playing and enjoying your beautiful yard! Congrats on 36 tortoise eggs wow what a huge batch!!

[@Shonnasstuff]

WOW! She did GREAT at covering & hiding that nest! Just, wow! 😲

[@IrishTechGirl]

That was amazing!! I loved watching her lay her eggs and how you described it for us. So exciting.

[@selmonofficial]

I love the way you care about your animals ❤️ in couple of months I'm hoping to get some sulcate tortoise. Keep up the good work Kenan. ✌️

[@theWazimu]

Man i love this channel Kenan. Everything is so honest, knowledgeable, fun and wholesome! I've been with you on any upload, since day one with the tortoise basin build! You are my absolute idol in this hobby/work/world! Your goals seems impossible to me, but hopefully one day in many many years we will be there ourself, me and my gf, hopefully in the philippines!

[@tamcsilva]

When Lobo jumps on you, tell him off, not down. Down is for lay down. The Kamp is looking good!

[@torribadura8288]

I agree off and down should be separate commands!! Loved seeing you biking with him (lobo) the other day!!

[@oretho6406]

Ignoring is the best approach imho, they do this for attention, when they realise it doesn't work, they stop... Problem is that other people need to do the same... I have a dog that doesn't jump at me, but does jump at everyone else, since they give her attention... Telling her off doesn't do anything in this case, she just waits until my attention to her is lacking before doing so... (In other words: I can control my dog, but I can't control other people... :()

[@jebVlogs556]

@@oretho6406 that's a very good assessment. I ignore my staffy dog but everyone else doesn't and he knows he can get away with others. If I tell him to leave the kitchen,he looks at me,tail between his legs,head down and walks slowly away. Again everyone else he either runs away from them than comes back or just sits there and blatantly ignores them.

[@karaleeann1211]

I 💗Sulcattas, they are my favorite! Wish I had the land for a few of them!

[@trinaholifield4935]

It was amazing to see that mama work the ground! That was amazing time lapse. To see her protecting those eggs, even against you, whom she knows! Amazing!

[@fivenightsatfreddysgameswo9689]

That puppy is awesome looking

[@sueparras6028]

She is quite the good mama tortoise! Takes good care of those eggs 🥚! Can't wait for the little ones to hatch out! Nothing cuter than a little baby sulcata tortoise!👍💯✌🇨🇦😎🇺🇦🐢🐢🐢🦎🐊🐍🐕

[@susanspeight148]

What a great Momma!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MamaJ1997]

So happy to see the sulcata tortoises! Big mama is beautiful and such a good mom! She risks biting the hand that feeds her to defend her best. Love it! Have a great week everyone and God bless!

[@jamesley3598]

Hey Man!!! GREAT JOB AS USUAL AS ME & CAROL HAVE COME TO EXPECT WE WATCH U ON A DAILY BASIS & LOVE UR ❤ VIDEOS AND UR JOY IS GREAT FUN, UR LIKE OUR OWN STEVE IRWIN!! THANKS FOR ALL U DO KENAN!!!!

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Big Mama laying eggs is exciting! I was surprised just how deep she was able to dig to lay her eggs. I would and have dug up eggs. The only thing wrong is a dog and I would never trust one not to attack.

[@debzacher1332]

Wonderful video, thanks Kenan!

[@peterferguson2344]

Each egg is a credit to your excellent husbandry 🤓👍 They aren't going to breed if conditions aren't right

[@drandy.youtubechannel1436]

It's really peculiar to see the Sulcata tortoise defending her eggs 😁😁

[@thomasc5753]

Tortoises, puppy, fried rice, and a booty grab! Life is good on a tortoise farm!

[@surferdude-ll2qu]

It's amazing how deep and how well she back filled that hole. 🤯

[@thecatsmeow9972]

I love watching so I would really enjoy doing it ! Perfect life in your backyard

[@jentebo5940]

The time lapse is pretty cool!

[@IrieRogue]

Big Mama is absolutely stunning, what a gorgeous gal. She did so well digging that hole, a good mama indeed 🥰

[@ciaravalenzuela2467]

I love the videos that are about the tortoises!

[@christinadvoracek997]

I love watching your videos they are educational and fun i would dig up tortoises and turtle eggs anytime.

[@emperorpalpatine7495]

KENAN, I must say I've been watching you for awhile now & I honestly look forward to seeing your videos every day 😄. You are hands down my favorite. You are truly the next Steve Erwin in my book. The way you truly care & love these animals as well as their conservation. My hats off to you Sir. Thank you for being You & doing what you Do. I only wish there were more people like you in this world 🌎 it would be such a greater place for all animals and people. 🤟🏻🤠👍🏻

[@amberdell3274]

Loved the video the egg in the 2nd row 3rd one in looks like a chicken egg 🥚 lol 😆 that's crazy that she laid it coming out like that lol 😆😆😆😆

[@heyher_the_odd]

Love the egg collecting videos. I finally got a tortoise of my own. I thought I always wanted a sulcata, but living in CO, that's not optimal. I ended up getting my dream tort, a stunning 3 year old Western Hermann's I named Daloris the Tortoise. Or Dale for short. Didn't want a baby though and it took a while to find a subadult Western Hermann's. Now I get to build her an outdoor enclosure for spring - fall. 6x2 chicken run and 2x2 hut.

[@stephanieochoa3689]

Wow your going to be busy the next few months 🐢🐢. Keep us updated!

[@MFoster392]

You know if you're not going to find a mate for Lobo he we will calm down a lot if you have him fixed. It also stops some health problems some dogs can get if they're not fixed. I would look into the benefits while he's young.

[@FBGMBONO]

Or you jus train the dog and work them and you won’t have to do that …

[@SanelaLucente]

Eggsciting times at the Kamp!

[@Sammie-Lou-Miss-UK]

Holy Crap!!! She dug one huge hole for those eggs!! Xxx

[@Donnamhm012]

Cool video! Thanks for sharing. Great place to relax, enjoy!!

[@bkm2797]

What I don't understand is why you didn't carefully remove the eggs while she was laying, but I'm sure you know. I see spring has sprung at Kamp Kenan. Thanks for taking us along.

[@rasheloesterling5621]

I ALWAYS love a good egg video. One of my favorite types of videos. 🐢🥚

[@mariamccann7620]

I'm amaze how big mama covers up the burrow, real good job.

[@matts1072]

Dog: Eats tortoise poop Human: "Gimme kisses" 😂

[@jamiekalsen9761]

Wow it's just amazing how momma works that earth when she's done.

[@staceyroberts3468]

I had no clue they dug down that far! Like others have said, it’s amazing the babies can dig out of there 😱

[@vicaroo001]

No kidding. I'd like to see a video of THAT: baby torts digging out of a mega deep nest.

[@staceyroberts3468]

@@vicaroo001 😊 me too!

[@YochevedDesigns]

Sulcatas are so prolific, I'd consider letting them hatch naturally. I remember once you said that wild hatched eggs produce much hardier tortoises. Of course if you are depending on the babies to provide income, then it makes sense to maximize the survival rate.

[@sallyfisher982]

I love your videos. They are educational which I love.

[@MOONSLIFE36]

That broke my heart!! Could of fed her to distract her a little.

[@jodiedwards2634]

All looks great! Nice vlog today…so good to see so many in the incubator! Keep ‘em comin’.

[@MFoster392]

Do the babies dig their way out or does she help them somehow? I know sea turtles do but I never realized how far down they are buried. It's truly amazing how animals have their survival instructions burnt into their DNA.

[@terminallyaverage6758]

I love learning at the Kamp

[@thelambrotwist]

Great Video very informative your sooo lucky having great natural conditions!

[@kelleyrancher]

Of course I love seeing that Kevin it's also natural and wonderful and I love tortoises but I just worry that cicada is being who they are is there enough purchasers for baby tortoises of this size what will happen to them in the future will they have a big yard like I myself have two acres so I have plenty of room for my sulcata but I do worry

[@Alberad08]

Thanks for sharing!

[@moyramoller721]

I love your videos/Vlogs, I learn so much and look forward to seeing each video when they come out, i love how passionate you are & the information/knowledge you share with us viewers I can’t believe how deep the mum digs, from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@markharris8997]

Awsome , love how many tortise eggs you get . Shows what a great job you do with your animals. Wish i wasnt in the UK would love some of those tortises when they hatch .

[@TrevW92]

I chuckled when you flipped her over 😂

[@karylphan9899]

🤣it looked like he pushed a smaller turtle in the hole. Lobo wants to help. 32?I think Wow 36❗️

[@peterferguson2344]

I love the red eared sliders,, had one for 25yrs... he had a climate controlled outside enclosure as he grew into a big handsome boy 🐢👌 and Irelands weather isn't known for being reptile friendly... And being Irish I'm automatically entitled to blame St Patrick for that 🐢😔

[@jaynehorn151]

Wish we could have tortoises in Australia.

[@P_steez]

That’s crazy you guys can’t I had no idea

[@jaynehorn151]

It’s because of quarantine and diseases they carry that could affect our fauna. We only have terrapins in Australia.

[@davidvento5481]

Really! I guess since they can’t kill or maim a human tortoises aren’t allowed... lol Still seems odd there are no tortoise species “down under.” I know Australia doesn’t import/export animals but aren’t there some breeding in captivity since before the ban? That’s how we in the US get the cockatoos and other Aussie species.

[@brianhopkins5776]

Hi Kenan

[@LiLJESS.]

Hey Kenan been waiting on a video from you, my dog also ate poop when she was younger they will grow out of it, also I would love to dig up eggs all the time too and incubate them do I can take care of the tiny babies, I would like to also watch them hatch, tiny babies are the cutest 😊 hope to see another video soon thank you 😊

[@meganjeffery3559]

I love watching your video's

[@stevenshepard2381]

Its hard to believe that the babies would ever make it to the surface on their own being so deep!

[@WikkdHeirDotCom]

“I’m an old man and I like it” 🙌

[@reptilemetaljen]

It’s amazing how well the tortoises bury and hide the eggs man can’t even tell lol I’m excited for the albino slider eggs! I hope they all hatch 🐣

[@karenchester8519]

Your so awesome , enjoy learning with you ❤️

[@domzjb5053]

Waiting patiently for the pond scaping

[@ntyler71]

@Kamp Kenan when you first got Lobo you had a lady that's a dog trainer who even worked police dogs, I think, volunteer to donate to train him for you to be a good guard dog.

[@caughtafaygo]

Awesome video I like to see Bobby update and the baby Barbies update. Thanks for the video as always

[@crystalblake1528]

I had an idea... Might not be a good idea! But my thought was to set up a little barrier around you and the Eggs when you find them to avoid this "attack of the mamma" issue.

[@northgacub]

LOL when you tipped her over - it looked like you were flipping over a Volkswagen beetle

[@jackpotjunkie]

LOL! @8:33 Kenan w/ the genius play... tippin' mama tortoise on its side... *36 EGGS* #winning @8:34 !! Happy Belated Easter Day !!

I'm thinking your little rant about eggs and turtles and humans if that's not a little hint to Kate look out Kate LOL love your channel

[@davidvento5481]

*There’s a colony of nesting Gopher Tortoises on the land next to my brothers house in So. FL with an interesting back story. The owner of the property (a wealthy dude from China) lost all the land - several acres & received a HUGE fine for filling several tortoise burrows with cement! Bro blew the whistle on the goofy dude (almost kicked his butt too...lol!) A ranger buddy made bro aware the property is now a “wildlife conservation area” and will never be developed. The guilty perp -now landless AF was also forced to excavate every tortoise burrow he attempted filling w/concrete!* *I’m surprised that creep didn’t catch & cook the tortoises! They frequently bust asian food markets in Chinatown here in NYC for selling chelonians illegally as comestibles. Kenan has several turtles from past confiscations.* *In fact a couple years ago several asian women were also arrested for fishing out newly released aquatic turtles from Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Lake. Due to concerns about overcrowding the animals had just been relocated from the pond in the Bklyn Botanic Garden. All the turtles were re-released in the lake and the offenders received stiff fines & community service penalties.* _Some jerks just never seem to learn!_

[@oretho6406]

Funnily enough, I prefer digging with my hands as wel... So I'm glad I'm not alone... Biggest problem for me though is that my dog attacks my shovel, and digs a hole whereever I set it down, which helps me out as well... ;)

[@hawkreichart8381]

What a superb guy you are. Goated

[@dalliporter5201]

wouldn't it be cool if Kenan could train Lobo to help flip tortoises back over onto their feet. For when they accidently flip themselves and no ones around to do it
