@@caitlinandtiptoe his sleeping box needs a modification..he needs part of the floor with bricks on the ground, so he can stay cool if it's super hot....and part of it should be wood floor off the bricks so he can stay warmer when he wants it.
With 6” to 10” inches of snow expected this afternoon Tip Toe makes me feel warm and fuzzy . Back when I was a kid my brothers and I had the turtle club. That was over fifty years ago. I own the family farm and I swear the same common mud turtles come out every year to lay eggs near the creek that passes through the farm. ❤U 🐢
Love you and tip-toe! Was thinking, maybe near-by florist might 'collect' some flower misfits that can't be used in an arrangement, and allow you to pick up on a mutually good day 🤔 would be good for their business as well 😁🙏❤️
Tip Toe is so beautiful and precious. And he had the best mommies and dad. He obviously gets the very best of care. You all are such wonderful people.❤️
Miss Caitlin. You are amazing lady how you adore tiptoe.I see he has his own museum. Wish you many good years with your little shell friend.Hehee your videos are awesome I enjoy watching. 👍
Wow so nice hmm cute family... Love y'all.... stay happy stay blessed alot is coming your way .... I'm just stunned about alot of things I don't know but GOOD love it keep smiling stay strong u can make it happen ....... bye dear
@@WorkingName-rp7wi Sounds like octopuses too, they never get around each other except to mate. There are some really weird and unexplained exceptions though, like octopolis.

A play date with another full grown sulcata would end in fighting, possibly to the death. A date with a female would end in copulation. Tortoises do better alone
You’ve got some pretty cool parents. Not only do they love and support you and this awesome creature… they’re proud of it. It’s easy to see. The frames on those paintings that you and your brother created, are not cheap. That’s the type of frame job that you have done on artwork that you cherish. Perhaps, you & TT could do something special for them. I’m certain they deserve it.
Like TipToe and Ms Caitlin, I too like a familiar morning routine. The regularity helps the rest of the day be more productive and open to something different or new. Thx for sharing the daily routine with TopToe. 👍🥰❤️
Plain Epson salts might help and I have a Russian tortoise and we use those to help her plants grow, it should be safe for tiptoe but I'd double check just to be safe
I dunno about the plant's requirements but I've been having success with foliar sprays. a little horticultural oil, a banana peel and some used coffee grounds, sit overnight, strain, add to a large quantity of water and then spray liberally. :)
the only non toxic flower that grows fast I know is mustard flowers, preferably an asian variety. you can plant a small lot and once they grow flowers, you can pinch the stalk of the flowers and it will regrow forever.
An unbelievable presentation. Thank you for taking the time to show us his life. I especially like the room with all his souvenirs. When I was in 4th grade in SF the teacher pulled down a map and showed us where Oregon and Washington were, said it was much colder there. Wouldn’t you know it, the next year we moved there. Everything has to be insulated, including car washes. So it looks unusual to see your warm water on the side of the house uninsulated! I see they have a Hyundai model called Palisade.😮😅🤗
Thanks for a lovely start to my day, morning coffee and you and Tip Toe. It’s Sunday morning before just before 9 am in Eastern Australia; I live in a town 2 hours from Sydney called Bathurst to give some geography. A fun fact: in Australia we call Bell peppers Capsicums, and the hot peppers are collectively called chillies 🌶️. Have a great day.😊
You could show a florist a clip of Tip Toe. Ask for just the blooms of Roses beyond selling. Also ask if there are harmful preservative chemicals in the flower shop Roses. As they may not be suitable for him.
You can add tiptoe blessing in china rose flower pot . believe me . best will be cow dung . I don't know if you can procure . Regarding roses ,you can use fish water.if you are eating fish, the water you use for washing fish . Might be a little yaak .but it will work
Hello caitnil God bless you and your tiptoe and your family I pray that you be safe driving please don't drink in drive life is short and you don't want to waste your life that way and how much do tiptoe eat in a day have a bless day
How long has she been taking care of this tortoise? I know she got him when she was 7, but how old is she and Tiptoe now? Did she take care of him for all that time or was she unable to for periods of time like going to college and etc? I’m just fascinated by forming a bond with an animal that has the same lifespan as a human, it’s not very common, especially for most of both of their lives being together.
21 yrs ago. He was little and can live 80-120 years 🤔 was mentioned. When people ask ( alot) she plans to leave him with her kids! When they get cynical; I think, who wouldn't want Tip toe
@@realityadvised2543 Yeah, that’s the same life span as a human, which is why it fascinates me. We so rarely have a pet/friend that lives just as long as we do, and it’s interesting to think of the connection and bond we have for different species to last as long as it would another human being. Especially with having grown up together as adolescents, into adulthood, and then into old age.
A product you can get from any garden center called Miracle Grow is pretty amazing stuff for growing just about anything. Tiptoe’s “ presents “ could also work into a compost and tilled into your soil to help your plants grow for your hefty friend. Sounds gross, but ask gardeners and farmers what works best. Hope I was helpful and thank you for sharing your special friend!
Hey you could add Tiptoe poo tea to the soil to help promote flowers 💐 his poop is completely organic, so it's a huge win win 🏆 😊 please give Tiptoe a nice butt scratch from me in the U.K xx 🇬🇧
Just thinking after watching the whole video. The pool water with poop in will be perfect just get a combination in a bucket let it ferment for a few day's and voilà organic fertiliser. For free 😀 xxxx
@Wood Setton just a suggestion that was requested, I use horse manure on mine and it flower's abundantly it is planted in the ground so I just dig some in at the start of the growing season. I suggested a tea because the plant's look like they're in pot's. I watch all these video's. And while I can completely understand that it sounds disgusting making a tea from poop, I believe that it would make the plant's flourish. Tiptoe would loose his mind if he saw mine it's stunning throughout the entire season.
@Caitlin Doran Hi, I am really pleased you like my idea. Just once a month should do the trick. Make sure to water the plant's thoroughly before you use it and before you know it Tiptoe will have more yummy flower's to munch. All the very best from me in the U.K. xx
Just heard the sound of Tiptoe's shell bottoming out at beginning of video when Tiptoe first stepped into dry pool , was only wondering if pool steps down too deep , if so would be easy fix with couple bags cement to add couple inches so less drop down plus easier getting out of pool also...🐢🏖just wondering
Have y'all considered setting up a hot house greenhouse in your yard? With grow lights and minimal care it should produce well thru out the year... plus it might even produce some veggies as well thru out the year as well...
I follow you from my country Costa Rica 🇨🇷 I’d love to send Tiptoe a little “chonete” that if you google it, you may see that our traditional hat for folkloric dancing and to take to our stadiums to support the national soccer team.
Hi Caitlin! I love your videos with Tiptoe! I have a question though… when you put the pool in for Tiptoe, why didn’t you put in a drain to get rid of the used water?
great great question. I am not really sure, we must have just not been thinking about it. The pool pump works pretty well + we water the plants in the yard with it so it semi works out but maybe one day we will add a pump!
I’ve got a great idea for a tip toe painting. Put some color on the heart shaped shell of his breast bone, and stamp it onto paper. That way it will be a loving part of him for all to have!
Your parents house is so animal friendly, I love it!
Your whole life with Tiptoe should be a kids Tiptoe storybook with all real pictures, videos etc...🐢👱♀️🦎🐕🐹💕 including his other pet friends 💕
I want to make this happen!!
@@caitlinandtiptoe his sleeping box needs a modification..he needs part of the floor with bricks on the ground, so he can stay cool if it's super hot....and part of it should be wood floor off the bricks so he can stay warmer when he wants it.
Definitely need a tip toe kids book
Does tip toe know Scooby Doo?
I love how you call his giant turds blessings lol
His poop is a natural fertilizer. Use it in the plants. I have a sulcata also and use his poop in all the potted plants. Flowers come out awesome.
What a sweetheart. Both Tiptoe and Caitlin.
Tiptoe:"Nothing says good morning like presents around the house...so, I leave them."🤪💩
He looked so precious with a few pieces of hay hanging out of his mouth 🥺 What a cutie.
With 6” to 10” inches of snow expected this afternoon Tip Toe makes me feel warm and fuzzy .

Tiptoe is certainly living the good life.
I love, love, love it when TipToe gets his bunny rubs!!!
Loved the Tiptoe bedroom museum , Tiptoe should be on California vehicle license plates as famous as he is ..🌷🐢💕
TT is on it. Lil guy is pampered. More please!
Love you and tip-toe! Was thinking, maybe near-by florist might 'collect' some flower misfits that can't be used in an arrangement, and allow you to pick up on a mutually good day 🤔 would be good for their business as well 😁🙏❤️
Tiptoe is so lucky to have such a sweet and beautiful mom!
Caitlin, it would appear that Tiptoe has a wonderful life, including a full and varied diet. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thank you!
awwww what a sweet baby boy 😄🥰😘🐢
He's so cute when he eats:). He gets it all over his face lol
I love TipToe!!!! Caitlin yes of course you ROCK!!!!
Tip Toe is so beautiful and precious. And he had the best mommies and dad. He obviously gets the very best of care. You all are such wonderful people.❤️
The farmers market may also have compost. I'd suggest. Making a small composting at home.
T’s shell looks fabulous! I can tell he’s been getting his exfoliating treatments. 😂😂
Miss Caitlin. You are amazing lady how you adore tiptoe.I see he has his own museum. Wish you many good years with your little shell friend.Hehee your videos are awesome I enjoy watching. 👍
Pretty Caitlin and handsOme TiptOoeee Ofcourse hehehe GOdbless keep safe 🙏 😊
Love watching your videos.. Caitlin you are so blessed with beauty 😍.Tip Toe is lucky to have a mom like you..
Wow so nice hmm cute family... Love y'all.... stay happy stay blessed alot is coming your way .... I'm just stunned about alot of things I don't know but GOOD love it keep smiling stay strong u can make it happen ....... bye dear
Tiptoe room 🥰
Loved seeing his routine. Does tip toe ever get to see other tortoises? Would love to see a play date 😁
Looked it up. I guess tortoises are very solitary and don't need tortoise interaction. I get that. Love my alone time too.
@@WorkingName-rp7wi Sounds like octopuses too, they never get around each other except to mate. There are some really weird and unexplained exceptions though, like octopolis.

Thanks for the great video!
How many women bring their special guy flowers everyday! That is LOVE!
He is the cutest thing. I love watching his videos, Thank you for sharing him with us.
I fell in love with Tiptoe when I stumbled on your show, Caitlin! You guys are amazing!!!! 👱🏽♀️❤️🐢❤️
Good morning tiptoe...beautiful👌❤❤
Love seeing Gracie 💕 heartwarming cause I have a Pitbull too. Tiptoe is a cutie pie 💓! Love when you feed Tiptoe 💕 Joan
The poop pick ups in the morning are to let you know your appreciated. I thought my tort was the only one with his own room.
I dunno about the plant's requirements but I've been having success with foliar sprays. a little horticultural oil, a banana peel and some used coffee grounds, sit overnight, strain, add to a large quantity of water and then spray liberally. :)
Admire how you give Tiptoe the best of everything, as he's well worth every bite 🍓🍊🍉🥬🐢💕
Love the minty color in the hallway to Tiptoes soon to be room🙂🌺
Great job Caitlin I love the way you take care of your big baby👍🏾❤
You both are very sweet and charming. Both of you are lucky to have each other in your lives. This is God's grace. ❤❤
Love this video !!!!!!not his poo. But the water....
Tiptoe is awesome! I love his eyes! He be lookin!
the only non toxic flower that grows fast I know is mustard flowers, preferably an asian variety. you can plant a small lot and once they grow flowers, you can pinch the stalk of the flowers and it will regrow forever.
It's nice that you 2 have grown up together and now both adults. Sweet.
I love Tip Toe he’s adorable.
What a nice turtle, you have, you are very lucky to have TIPTOE
I am so lucky!
Big man should do a surfing episode this summer.. a the Beach..call the big kahuna✌️🤙
Besides tip-toe cute as heck so is he’s momma. Beautiful ❤

You are the best Mother ever. Your parent's did a great job with you. Big Hug Bill&Joanne Rochford-Teague
There's lots of flowers in flower shops, grocery stores, etc.
Caitlin.....I love your videos! You're an awesome caregiver to T.T.❤😎
Look into grass carpets that's what I'll be doing ready for winter
Hello Tiptoe and mama ❤❤❤
hiiii have an amazing day :)
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY!! THANK YOU!!
TT IS ADORABLE 💙🙏
Good morning tiptoe
Yes Tiptoe is amazing, but so is your positivity 😍
Tiptoe and Caitlyn are like husband and wife.
Mother and son.
What a commitment you have👏👏👏
So fun to watch. Do you ever try to put a small water sprinkler in his pool or a mister for him?
Tiptoe the terrific tortoise 💙🐢💚
How often do you fertilize your plants?
Big T has to take care of business!
Do you ever take TipToe to dig in the dirt? Reason being tortoises like to dig Burroughs.
I adore your videos ! How do you empty his pool? And how long does he sleep for?
Hi Tiptoe! Hope it's not raining too much down there in the Southland!
He having a good life..⚘

Would a small green house help with the flowers?
Have you used mirrors in the enclosure for TT. Also you can put grass in an open type ball and TT can eat it from there. Just a thought or two
You could show a florist a clip of Tip Toe.
Ask for just the blooms of Roses beyond selling.
Also ask if there are harmful preservative chemicals in the flower shop Roses.
As they may not be suitable for him.
You can add tiptoe blessing in china rose flower pot . believe me . best will be cow dung . I don't know if you can procure .
Regarding roses ,you can use fish water.if you are eating fish, the water you use for washing fish .
Might be a little yaak .but it will work
I liked the way that you weren't totally grossed out by that weighty waste.
I love you both!
Hello caitnil God bless you and your tiptoe and your family I pray that you be safe driving please don't drink in drive life is short and you don't want to waste your life that way and how much do tiptoe eat in a day have a bless day

What about the water from his pool ??
