I’m reposting this from another site because I definitely think it’s worth sharing🐢❤️🐢😊
Did you know a Box turtle only roams 1 mile its whole life? If it is removed from its area/home then for the rest of its life it will roam aimlessly stressed out... trying to find "home" until it dies a very sad death.
Please do not remove turtles. Do not take them home as pets. If one is injured please mark the exact spot found for the wildlife center. If a turtle is in the road you can help by moving it directly across the street in the direction it was heading. Thank you!
I post this every few months because it's not really known. Many people think it is harmless to let their children take home a docile turtle to play with and release it someplace they see appropriate. I was once that kid. Please share the knowledge.

Hope everyone had a torttally awesome day. I know we did. ❤️😊🐢😎

So for today’s lunch, I made up a combination of Romain lettuce, collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, and spring mix top off with sliced zucchini, squash, and cucumbers, and for the reds, I added fresh Kiwi, super ripe mangoes and wild organic blueberries topped off with the light dusting of calcium powder. I wish I ate that well.😊😊😊

CHECK OUT THE NEW REDFOOT SHADE ENCLOSURE ❤️🐢❤️🐢❤️😊❤️🐢😮
We were finally able to get it installed and I want to send a huge thank you to Jack and his crew for making this dream become possible.
 And most of all I want to thank the people that donated money to help with the cost, I would’ve never been able to afford it without your help
so thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means more than you could ever imagine.❤️❤️❤️❤️
The tortoises absolutely love it😊🐢😊🐢

Just wanted to share some pictures of my 50 year old muscadine grapevine😮❤️😮(i’ve had this grapevine growing about 15 years, but it came from clippings off of 50-year-old vine)
It looks like we’re gonna have a lot of grapes this year ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐢🐢🐢
Most of the tortoises just love the leaves, I do not feed them the grapes because they have seeds in them so I eat tons of them and share with Neighbors 😃😃😃😃

So our new shade enclosure for the Redfoot tortoises will be here in a couple weeks. We have to go to Brooksville to disassemble it and bring it back here and reassemble it. We have some amazing friends that are going to help us do everything.😊😊
THANKS Jack and your crew for all your help 🐢🐢🐢😊❤️
 and thanks to everyone who donated towards this new enclosure. I’m only a couple hundred dollars shy but it definitely has been worth the adventure and the cost❤️❤️❤️

Good Evening Tortoise Lovers 🐢❤️😊❤️🐢🐢❤️
Sooooo, the new Redfoot pool enclosure is finally done. It only took about a week to complete and I used about 90% of repurposed items around the sanctuary. I only had to purchase the bamboo shade around the outside and the kiddy pool
I had a lot of fun doing it and I hope the tortoises love it as much as I do ❤️🐢😊🐢❤️
Sorry, there’s a lot of pictures, but this is from the beginning to the end. Hope everybody enjoys it and had a tortally awesome day 🐢❤️😊
I know we did❤️❤️❤️🐢😎❤️🐢😊

Good Morning Tortoise Lovers ❤️🐢😊🐢
I usually don’t put a post out specifically for donations, but when I came across this beautiful shade enclosure for the tortoises, it was something that I really wanted to have for them. Even though the woman has given me a great deal on this it’s Still quite expensive.
So if anyone would like to help contribute to this amazing shade enclosure for my Redfoots, please let me know. I am currently working on PayPal, Venmo, etc. to make things easier in the future for donations❤️🐢🐢😊
Thanks again everyone for your continued support. I couldn’t do it without you. ❤️🐢😊
