A few of yesterday’s surrenders 🐢
These cuties are 2 years old. They come to us from Lisa in Tempe, Arizona
Lisa bred and sold Sulcata’s to a local pet store until that pet store went out of business.
If you would like to add one of these cuties to your family, they will be available for adoption on 7/1/24
Welcome to the eclecteri family little ones ❤️🐢
Franklin’s turn. We feed watermelon in the summertime only as a hydrating treat. It’s fed to the non fruit eating species twice in the summer months (June & August)
Whoopsie’s turn for some watermelon 🍉
Jack is loving the watermelon treats today 🍉

Cornelia’s journey to Ecoland ❤️🐢
Pharoah is making small improvements.
He’s active, eating and drinking on his own.
His eyes look clearer, color has improved, but still no pooping. Dr. Merker wants to stick with this regimen a little longer ❤️
Charlie ravenously eating some Mulberry leaves ❤️🐢
Opal loves it when the grapevines grow where she can reach them ❤️🐢
This little cutie is enroute to meet their new family ❤️🐢
We’ve got this enclosure that hasn’t had tortoises in it for a couple months but I fill the water dishes up everyday for the bees 🐝
How’s everyone doing? Staying cool?
Pharoah enjoying some early morning sun before we head back indoors. He’s handling the feeding tube well, has more energy and is a little more active. Still not pooping, but we’re hopeful ❤️🐢

Last year we finally gave in and bought a tractor. Building burrows, repairing Sulcata destruction, hauling dirt etc.. was a little more difficult for me after cancer treatment.
I’m getting a crash course in tractor maintenance because there is ALWAYS something wrong with it that needs fixing.
Today Julio is helping me repair a flat (nail in tire). Not sure how I made it to 52 years old without knowing how to do this, but just in case there are others like me out there, I videoed Julio’s lesson. Enjoy!

Hi, welcome to our home
What’s that buzzing sound you ask?
Oh, that’s just our tortoise strapped to a vibrator, trying to get him to poop 💩
* He’s seen the vet, had mineral oil, aloe, pumpkin, soaks, car rides etc.. He goes back to the vet if we can’t get things moving by tonight
