      It would ruin the content... The retarded editing that is required by American TV and doing material that is forced upon you would ruin this awesome show. It's perfect the way it is, he just needs to get paid more for it.

    Hi Kenyan I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 And I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoroughly enjoyable videos we're currently experiencing an heatwave over here and my Mediterranean spur thighed tortoises which I've had 41 years have been loving it, is never an easy feat looking after them with the normal rapid fluctuations in temperature, but I always do my best, they hibernate from usually November to March, Somthing I learned years ago was never to use Hay as bedding as mould spors can develop, I look forward to watching your next videos and learning new stuff, Keep up the good work.

    When I lived in Ohio out in the southern farmland, box turtles would migrate through my yard every year. I would snag a few of them for a few weeks, keep them corralled in my yard in a small area and then after a week or three I'd open it up and they would eventually leave.I would spoil them and feed them while they were there.

    My mom struggles with her Sulcatas 😂 so funny that they’re always naked “bulldozer” because it’s perfect! On the occasion that they’ve been loose with the Russians, the little Russian tortoises try to show them their open beaks and chase the female around

    @bootsonthegroundportugal 8 лет назад

    I have a 170 pound Sulcata that I'm inheriting soon. I'm in Phoenix, I have purchased a basking heat lamp and thermostat. I'm wondering if I build out of recycled concrete for the walls (I just got some from a neighbor tearing up a driveway), do the spray foam insulation (did you do that yourself?) and then maybe do a roof out of wood and metal roofing material if you think that is a good plan? I only want to build an enclosure once, so I'm also wondering if 4'x5' is big enough? She is 15 and my backyard is 2700 sq ft.

  • @OtterLakeFlutes
    @OtterLakeFlutes 7 лет назад

    cool... I was afraid for sulcatas I would have to do the dog trick and bury, say, hogwire fencing (chicken wire on steroids) down a couple feet and then bend and bring it backward a couple feet and cover it up (dogs never figure this out and just keep trying to dig right up against the fence wall and never figure out if they backed up three feet they could tunnel out in the direction of the fence wall). But maybe sulcatas will stop? I'm scared regarding my outermost, property perimeter. First thing wild, native gopher tortoises do is find the fence and dig their home burrow there for some reason, more than any tree, building, or obstruction. But of course I'm not keeping those in by any means (unfortunately this exposes them to traffic and people throwing them in ponds, but it's quite illegal to contain gopher tortoises, so I'm putting up signs). Gophers have taken up refuge here, free to come and go, because all the neighbors scalp their lawns, poison, or have 24/7 dogs outside.

    +Kamp Kenan Hi Kenan, I am making an outdoor enclosure for my Russian tortoise, but I don`t have much space to work with. Do you have any advice/ suggestions? I live in Ohio and the weather can get pretty unpredictable sometimes so my major concern was with making a place for shade like you had with the barn, but since I don`t have a lot of space I don`t know what to "make" as shelter. I only have one Russian tortoise right now, but will be getting another soon. So the shelter doesn`t have to be that big. Thanks a ton.

Or will it be okay outside if it's around 15 degrees Celsius, I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit?
