Tiptoe is a growing boy and eats about the size of his shell in food daily... at this point, he's pushing 175.. maybe more...

What a cutie 💓 Remember to ask some of the vendors at your local farmers market. I'm sure they would donate some greens if they can have a photo op with TT!!😅

During the 1980's I had a holiday in Mauritious. There were 2giant tortoise kept as pets by the hotel. They roamed freely in the grounds. We used to feed them bananas, which they loved. However, we had to watch our fingers, they were very grumpy!! I love how you look after TT. Love from England.

You and tip are the coolest .if your looking for a husband find a good one take your time . As for kids that's an even bigger decision. I'm floored you picked a career in giving .hard to fund a nice girl dedicated to more than herself and I'm proud of you for not being perfect but having her head in straight. And looking past her nose for happiness . Tip is just great never knew how big a tortoise pet could get and the dedication your family shows is very positive and heartening. It's a great story your sharing I'm a new fan .and wish you guys all the best ...in all you do .love is a wonderful thing thanks

The produce department at grocery stores throw away insane amounts of stuff, I don't know if you've tried this. I've always wanted a Sulcata but I got a Belgian Malinois instead (which I've wanted for 30+ years), 😂. I realistically didn't have the dedication or space for a proper enclosure and our climate wasn't conducive to its care.
