We're excited to announce four of our tortoises were rehomed to Mom's sanctuary in Orange County.
We talked about which ones needed homes and could help with her small breeding effort. The following torts were driven to our family home to roam in a large backyard. It is a tort paradise. Girl 2 - She came to us in a group of 4 rescues and remained intentionally unnamed since she was promised to Mom. She was severely dehydrated with an infection and malnutrition. Today, she's eating voraciously and ready to lay eggs! Tiny - Tiny presented the same as Girl 2 and arrived in the same group. He is an old little being, but smaller than a teacup saucer. He jumps when touched and stresses when there is lots of interaction. Tiny was a perfect candidate to go, "home" where he could roam without fear of constant petting. Turkie - As expected Turkie was instantly beloved, both by me and my mother. He came in as a surrender, in great shape and healthy. He simply needed a new home. Turkie is a happy boy with a great personality. Destiny - Is a small little girl who was given to the Tort Resort as a girlfriend for Turkie. She came from a fellow rescuer who bought her from the Petsmart in Puyallup. While we do not support the importation of wild caught tortoises, finding females is a rarity. Finding healthy females is even more rare. She will be a great addition to the breeding group. Photos will come soon of these four in their new home.
