what should i feed my 7 year old hermann tortoise ?? i think he is eastern or dalmation, but definitely not western.

Hey wow nicebro., ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mine does the same thing. He instantly goes straight for my neck and gets right in there.

@@jenniferspence7092 But isn’t nice to know that they trust you enough to just lie there and sleep.I dread the day when we won’t be together any more,either because one of us dies or more likely that I get too old to look after him any more (I’m approaching 80). Hopefully that day is along way off

@@gillblower751 for sure. I actually take our little guy out for little trips to the pharmacy and stuff too. He's just the cutest guy and he's kind of an attention getter lol. He's still little (he's about 3 years old) so I'm not walking him on a leash or something looking for attention myself but we live in a townhouse and I don't feel comfortable having him out in a shared yard so that's partly how I make sure he gets some natural ubv at least rather than just bulbs. But once people do happen to notice him they're so shocked because he's not scared at all (we live right by a busy road and he doesn't tuck his head in as if he's stressed or scared at all) he's just totally observing everything around him. Yeah it's heartbreaking just to think that one day you won't be with them anymore. I actually have been having these thoughts a lot about our cat lately. She was 6 when she sort of fell into our lives so she's been with us for about a year and a half and both my son and I are just in love with her. She's a ragdoll but it took me awhile to actually realize that because she basically looks like a siamese but she's super long haired. So first time with this breed and she's just the sweetest girl and our crested gecko actually just passed away about a week after Christmas and I think that was where I started thinking like omg what am I going to do when it's Bella's time?? It was so hard with Meat Loaf and he was as adorable as can be as well but not in the same way as a cat. I sure wouldn't be able to let him loose inside and relax...he would be in a vent in no time lol. Where as Bella and I have our special moments and she obviously interacts with us a lot more. And her time on this earth will be a lot shorter than Chompy's as well....that's our tortoise's name. The one comfort I have for when pass away since Chompy is still just starting his life pretty much is that I know darn well that my son wouldn't give him up for anything. He takes after me with his love of most creatures and he's just turning 11 in a couple months so he still has a whole lifetime to devote to our guy.

I have to laugh though. Chompy goes directly up to cuddle into the crook of my neck almost every time we're hanging out relaxing at home and twice my son pointed out that he also took a big poop while up there too lol. And the first time I actually had been eating a chocolate bar and I was like ok did I make a mess and somehow got chocolate all over my cheek and on my shoulder etc and it melted or did he trample that thing completely until you couldn't even see that there had been a solid poop of any sort and get it all over me in the process....lol. since then I usually try and make sure I drape a towel or something over me and periodically check and see if he's doing his business lol.

@@jenniferspence7092 Lovely to hear about your other pets. I also have a Mediterranean spur tortoise but she’s very much an I will come to you if I want to, if not leave me alone kind of girl. I agree about having a towel over the shoulder, I’ve been weed on many times. My little man(Billy) now comes to me at cuddle time, looks up at me and raises himself on his front legs as high as he can, and then lifts one leg up which I think means come on then, pick me up! Surprising how much a little brain can work out.

I also would love a in depth vid on the Burmese Black and Brown Tortoises.

Mine is 14 and she was identified as a Dalmation 3 or 4 years ago but I'm sure it varies from tortoise to tortoise

@@ayoutubechannel7143 Ah okay - thanks for the info! 😊
