    Chris, you did a great job on the enclosure. That dirt and sand looked much easier to dig in than Tennessee red clay. I’m sure the tortoise is going to be very happy in his new home. Thank you and Gabby for saving him. And I love your dogs. They are adorable. Love to everyone from Tennessee.

Chris is ripped! Bambi cracked me up at least 3 times. He's just so tiny with such a big dog attitude. Love it!

  • @brockn7878
    @brockn7878 5 месяцев назад +1

    It is good Tortoise husbandry to put up a visual barrier like you did with the beams. Some tortoises will try and tank their way through whatever fence for the "grass is always greener" food and activities on the other side.
    Which is bad, either for your fence Or their face...
    But if they cant See the other side? They never even think about it.
    Good job ❤

    Worked with one sulcata that really liked some scratches and petting, one of the other workers had as policy not to pet, the tortoise was ramming him all the time so he had to start petting as well. Quite adorable when he came, got some petting and scratches then when he was happy he went away again being a bit careful to not bump into you while otherwise he was/is a bulldozer :-P

    It's to late now but you can apply to the next enclosure.
    After seeing you add the planter timbers I would have cut the panels in half lengthways double ing your purpose. Therefore you'd never see the metal...2 or 3feet down and you still have to monitor it's digging.
    You can dig a hole and reinforce it so it doesn't collapse

    I love you guys but the dogs around the truck and bulldozer gave me so much anxiety. Especially Bambi she’s so small and accidents happen so quickly 😢 the part with Bambi running up to the truck at the end was especially hard to watch.
