Happy happy hatchday to my sweetie Mango @wafflesworld! Mom is once again late at going to the post office, so I found Mango a pretty card in her favorite card to tell her how special she is every day all year long! 🎉🎂🎊💝🌸😘🐢

Zomg! Our shell friend @wafflesworld is 10 years old!! 🥰 HAPPY HATCHDAY WAFFLES!

As you can see it took me a while to put together a special message for you. I thought it was done but realized it was missing something very important! (What’s more important than my heart? Well noms obviously!)

Humom and I are sending you lots of snuggles and skritches and noms during your special celebration. Stay sweet (and handsome hehe 🥰) !

- love Zoya Pants (and humom too)

Today friend Alicia @wafflesworld sent us this picture from her kitchen in Canada! We had to check Voigt was still in the Stickyfrogs tank!

Salad or Voigt?

What is some general info about keeping sulcata tortoises? Also where can they be adopted as adults?

I know NOTHING about sulcatas, other than that they are enormous. Try @thewhimsyturtle or @wafflesworld- they know a lot more about torts than I do!

IT'S AN EFFING *TORTOISE* @wafflesworld

[the-awkward-turt]

Maybe I don't know enough about tortoises, but it seems from all the shell pyramiding that the wafflesworld guy you reblogged has malnourished animals, especially the one named mango.

Hey there! Mango was rescued when she was two years old; up until that time she had received extremely bad care and has horrible shell deformities as a result.

The other tortoises have perfectly fine shells for captive tortoises. It is almost impossible to get tortoises with perfectly smooth shells in captivity. It’s not entirely understood why this is but it probably has something to do with minor deviations from their exact wild diet and humidity levels but also the fact that captive tortoises spend less time digging through dirt and rocks, squeezing under logs, having their shells chewed by predators, getting banged up in mating attempts or fights, etc.

Mild pyramiding is entirely a cosmetic issue and does not effect the health of the animal. If you would like to read Waffles’ official statement on the issue you can find that here.

Generally it is not a good idea to jump to conclusions about a tortoise’s current care based on the fact that they are pyramided/have other shell deformities. Considering that tortoises live for several decades and that many of them outlive their owners or change hands many times throughout their lives (and that bad care can leave permanent deformities even if it happened years and years ago) it’s really not fair or logical to assume that the current owner caused the issue.

I really appreciate your concern about the welfare of these tortoises, but next time you might want to search the OPs blog for information about their animals’ history first. Saves time for everyone.

So my bf's roomie bought one of those tiny turtles from the dudes on the street :( i know they're usually bad to buy from but since he already bought it i wanna be able to take good care of it but like idek what kind of turtle it is and stuff to take proper care of it, pls help 😭

That is most likely a red eared slider, however I have no clue how to care for them :( I would ask @wafflesworld if they know anyone?

💘 Happy Valentine's Day! 💘 I found the perfect card for my sweetie Mango @wafflesworld this year! 💌 I wanted to deliver Mango's card myself, but since Mom wouldn't let me go with her to Canada last week, I had to let Mom do the delivering. I made sure to fill Mango's card with lots of special kisses just for her! 😘💖🐢🐢🥰

[tort-time]

We are pretty late this year (cause human doesn’t know what day it is... ever! ) but Happy Hatch Day @wafflesworld !!! I tried to think of the best gift to get you and I’m pretty sure this is it. On my way! 🐢💜🎂🚀

[drxgonfly]

last anon gave me the idea: Do you or your followers recommend any animal blogs? Most ones I was following went inactive

yay for ideas!!! Most of the animal blogs I followed have gone inactive too. but these people post some animals amongst their nature mix. Again, if any of you guys have animal blogs, feel free to comment below!

@earthandanimals, @wild-earth, @creatures-alive, @this-is-wild, @land-of-the-animals, @grizzlynx, @animalsafari, @mooonjellies, @animal-obsession, @funkysafari, @withinthewild, @sdzoo

And of course, these two.

@thewhimsyturtle - it’s a blog, about a super tiny tortoise and his adventures and I LOVE IT.

@wafflesworld - another blog about tortoises, the captions on their photos make me laugh :)

The Stickyfrogs have received a wonderful package in the mail!! A beautiful painting of Voigt and a frog friend from beautiful friend Alicia, who is mum to Waffles, Mango and Tortellini @wafflesworld 😊🐸😃🐸😊 Voigt was very excited to come out and see the special painting of her! Thank you so very much Alicia for your magnificent paintings! 😊😊 The Stickyfrogs send you all the kissies in the world and the stickiest hug! You can find Alicia’s beautiful art in her Etsy shop aliciawishart.etsy.com 😊🐸

Do you know of any blogs that could provide advice on Russian tortoise care?? Thank you!!

Yeah! Try @wafflesworld or @thewhimsyturtle- they have really well-cared for torties!

[princess-tesera]

@wafflesworld I love this video even though it's actually a tortoise and not a turtle and I just thought you would appreciate it especially Mango

[i-m-snek]

My partner is adopting a Russian tortoise soon and we want to learn as much as possible before we take her in! While care sheets are great, personal experience is so much better. Do you know of any blogs belonging to Russian tortoise owners that could provide helpful advice? Thanks in advance!!! (PS: we have experience with snakes and lizards, this is just our first time with a torty)

@wafflesworld is the first tortoise blog that comes to mind, tho I don’t know what species they are. My followers might have a few ideas as well :3
