The Tortoise Table

a couple more...

These are near my yard. Any idea what they are?

Thank you Lin! I appreciate your help with this. I figure in time, I will become more fluent in flower/weed identification.
Do you have any books that offer help with identification (specifically those grown in the USA)?

A few more okay for help with identifying? I was on a hike today and found these...

Thank you!

Nina -

You can call me Yahtz. Ha ha. Note my real name, just nickname.

I have a ton of Garlic Mustard growing around here. Thank you for helping me identify.

So if I understand correctly, you rare not supposed to feed more than one type of brassica per feeding/day?

Can anyone help identify this? I have it growing everywhere here in NorthEast USA. Thank you!

Thank you Nina. I will do a better job next time following directions for uploading photos and placing them in the correct category on the page. Again, I am newbie, so I greatly appreciate your understanding. Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know if any of these are edible for a tortoise? Trying to identify weeds growing near the house.

Not sure if you are able, but I love in the NorthEast USA. I was out for a walk earlier and found these weeds close to the house. Are any edible for the Hermann's tortoise? Than you

I am about to get two hatchling western hermanns tortoises (to arrive in June). I live in the USA and am new to tortoise keeping. I have been researching their needs for the last few months and now I am researching diet. Recently I purchased some Italian Dandelion (Chicory) seeds and planted them in...

Thank you so very much for all of your help with this. Your notes are very helpful. The pictures of your tortoise table are fantastic. I like the design you chose and see how it could be very functional. I will keep in mind your tips on lighting, temperature and thermometers. Once again, I thank you...

Nina - Also what breed are the females you have living together and how long have they been living together? Thank you.

Thank you for the warm welcome. This site seems great! Appreciate your words of encouragement and help. Yes, that is pretty much what I figured. If anything I will go with two females or one make only. I am looking at an 8' X 2' tortoise table and like your suggestion of adding a second 'upper deck'...

I am new to keeping tortoises and in need of advice. When I decide to purchase, should I buy one, two or three? What are your experiences housing one male with one female? Male and male / female and female OR a male and 2 or 3 females. I would like to avoid conflict and aggression. If more than one,...
