Gentle Desert Dwellers

Gentle Desert Dwellers
I have six desert tortoises who live in a garden plot that has a cement foundation and were born in that garden plot. They're now about seven years old. They are beautiful gentle creatures...

I can never release them into the wild because they would either die from starvation, or be killed by some animal.

I gave their mother and father to a Desert Tortoise foundation that was supposed to be a rescue foundation for desert tortoises, but I found out some nasty things regarding it, and don't want these little guys of mine to end up in some pet store in L. A. or wherever...so they stay with me where I can protect them and feed them properly. I love these little guys and have discovered just how smart and happy little creatures they are...

A good question HC.. when I first bought this place in 1976, and the rainfall was over 4 inches a year (now it's less than an inch), with plenty of desert plants in the Spring for the wild tortoises to eat, there were thousands of them all around my place... now they're all gone! Anyway, back in those times, usually only one tortoise would live in each underground burrow. So.. I think in the wild, the tortoise is a lone dweller and desert wanderer.... Mine all live together in a large underground burrow they've dug out in the sand... They never fight over the food I give them and seem to be friendly to each other, so I think they really do know each other... Thanks for adding your comment, dave...

 I've come to really love these gentle little guys, and would consider it a disaster if anything happened to them...

    Wow, must take a long time taking them for a walk. You're a good man Dave.
    Does the collie try to herd them?
My old Border Collie is curious about how they smell. I'm teachng my young Chesapeake Bay Retriever that they're not to be harmed...But..since he's barely a year old, I don't trust him around the tortoises when I'm not there.

When I'm working outside, I sometimes open the door to their enclosure and let them wander around on the sand outside. Most of the time they spot me and all come over to where I'm working. They don't like to get very far away from their enclosure, and are anxious to get back inside it after being outside for a couple of hours.
