The torts have started the next step in their journey! 🐢 Recently, The Living Desert and San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance moved the desert tortoise hatchlings to an outdoor rearing facility at the Edwards Air Force Base, where the hatchlings' eggs were originally laid. During the next six months, the tortoises will reacclimatize to the desert, as well as learn important predator avoidance behaviors and how to identify important foods. Then, this fall, the tortoises will be released back into the

By the way, happy #DesertTortoiseWeek! 🐢 Las tortugas del desierto son reptiles muy fascinantes. En mayo, una tortuga decidió poner sus huevos debajo de una mesa en el parque nacional de Joshua Tre

In case you’re craving more desert tortoise hatchling cuteness! 🐢🌿 These little ones may be small, but their meals aren’t! To help them grow big and strong, the tortoises receive an abundant, nutrient-rich diet.

The pellet, made mostly of timothy hay and other plants, is high in fiber and packed with vitamins A and E for eye and skin health. Twice a week,
