[Garter_Gertie]

That Pug is an abonimation (sp?), MUST come out and be SENT to MN.

LOL Trust me, we all taunt each other on here!! Too bad you're so far away, or I'd share.... (not really. But it sounded nice and polite. LOL)

lol i wouldnt say stuff like that i might just come and visit

[Lori P]

You can come and visit, but you have to leave here with one of each critter... and they're not all snakes. LOL :-)

[Garter_Gertie]

Does that work for me, too, Lori?

I DIBS JAMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lori P]

LOL Gertie-- I forgot to respond to this! Ok, well, after careful consideration, you can take Jamie but in trade I'll need at least 2 pugs and a selection of hoggies and garters and at least one milksnake....

These turtles crack me up when they stretch all out like this.



And the way they stand at the front of the tank in the mornings looking out, waiting for their breakfast... what a hoot!!!

Does anyone else feed their turtles pinkies?? Mine LOVE them and I've been giving them some once a week as a treat...

[Loren]

thats neat Lori- question though- I dont know turtle/tortoise species real well, are yours a primarilty herbivorious species? I ask because they remind me of some type of box turtle, and I was wondering if a pinky a week could be too much protein, even though its not much. Just a thought.
For the record- I know very little about turtles and tortoises outside of the basic care of my pair of Russians.

Are the "other critters" good eatin' ? Cause maybe I'd like to come too then, and I'll bring my appetite and some fixins! I tell you what.

Loren, box turtles are omnivores:

"Wild box turtles are omnivores and will eat earthworms, snails, grubs, beetles, caterpillars, carrion, grasses, fallen fruit, berries, mushrooms and flowers. They will take a bite of anything that smells edible. This is the diet that is best to follow."

My guys have so far eaten every fruit and veggie I've offered them, as well as nightcrawlers, minnows, f/t cockroaches, and f/t pinkies. They are so funny, I make them up a "salad" every other day of different veggies, fruits, and some kind of critter and they pick out their favorites first, and go down the list... LOL!!!
