Does your tortoise go through all that food every single day?

Yes that’s his daily food amount.

I always rounded my pounds up to 480 g keep coming back for more

Any measuring device out there does not show the exact number of 28.35gm for an ounce…you always see 30gm= 1 ounce…I have always done the same as you Star 480gm to the lb. So if someone got a lb. They would get 26.4 gm of extra weight…almost an extra oz. It did keep ’em comin back…kinda like getting a bakers dozen!!!

Score!!!!!!

 

[Treetroit City]

Score!!!!!!

Sure was! Only $250 per tank/stand. New would’ve been around $600 not to mention shipping which is where you really get screwed.
I did have to rent a Uhaul box truck however and will be making a three hour round trip tomorrow to go get them.
They were being used as fermenters for a beer brewer so should be good and clean.
I was a little hesitant about grabbing them all but I know I would have no problems at all selling them at a little profit should I need to.

Todays feeding:
I used to duct tape a pool noodle straight up on his back in summer and let him graze my field then I got an apple airtag for him. I don’t let him out unsupervised anymore lol he is faster than you would think. Going to increase his enclosure size next year.

Here’s some cool trivia

Jimi Hendrix Onstage, Forest Hills, NY, 1967​

About the image
Jimi Hendrix strikes a pensive expression as he prepares to perform in front of the crowd at the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens in July, 1967. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was the opening act for a number of dates for The Monkees. Some say this was an odd pairing, but The Experience had only just debuted in the US to a live audience at Monterey Pop and this series of concerts allowed them much-needed exposure.

I am fixing him up a new vivarium now. Got 6 (4 foot uv 12% reptile bulbs) for this t5 fixture and a 630 watt cmh will have a couple plants around his enclosure. Then finally ceramic heater bulbs by the uv fluorescent bulbs at one end leaving the other end cooler so he can thermoregulate.

 

[Sub24ox7]

Oh and I pick him up lol. He will follow me though slowly. He barely fits in the bathtub. He gets soaks in the bathtub in winter. Anyway he is heavy lol.

I’ve had him 8 years. When I got him he was smaller than the palm of my hand.
