Sometimes you have to entice gratitude to comeContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

Big or small, short or tall, young or old, rich or poor, feathered or featherless, there is so much happiness to be found in this world. And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect dayContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Nesting”
Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Camo
When Bruce was first rescued to us nearly two years ago, he was both very self-assured and very shy. He was self-assured in that he seemed to know exactly what he wanted and needed. For his first week with us, he refused to stay in his temporary tub, but lived underneath a rolling file cabinetContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Camo”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Eyesight
Malti’s eyes often look black, especially when she is sitting in the sun. It took a long time to realize her eyes are actually brown! But it didn’t take me nearly so long to learn that her eyes work really well. For example, she can see in the ultraviolet light spectrum, just like her parrotContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Eyesight”

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Hand Feeding
Sometimes it feels like the only thing Bruce and Malti really have in common is that they are both shelled. Malti was raised in captivity from the time she was born. She is used to being hand-fed, to having her shell scratched, to getting bathed in her little red tub, to making herself at homeContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Hand Feeding”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Repurposing
I grew up with parrots. They are small and quick and LOUD. I also cared for a group of rescued water turtles as a child – they weren’t loud, but they were also small and quick. Malti is just the opposite. Malti is large and slow and very, very quiet. Or, she is quiet whenContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Repurposing”
