USA Captive bred Aldabra Tortoise
SPECIAL: 4 inch size $1550.00
Flat Rate for shipping $100.00
We have sold 100's of baby Aldabra Tortoises over the last 30 years.
They go up in Value as they grow if kept properly.
Can be seen by appointment in North San Diego County at office location.
Lots available if desired. We shipped one from a local zoo out of LAX that was 780lbs. including the special designed shipping crate.
Preferred shipping Delta airlines airport to airport but will also ship FedEx to hub. Local pick-ups always welcome.
baby diet is changed up so they get used to many different items to eat
"Spring mix" from market ( 7 different type fine greens ) twice a week
Spineless Mexican Pear Catus leaves cut very thin like french fry shape but thinner ( twice a week )
Romaine Lettuce ( just the good green parts ( twice a week )
Mexican squash "ripe soft" ( cut into 1/4" high circles ) fed couple times a week with other items
Calcium should be added at least once a week to any of the above but works best on the spring mix or Green lettuce
All young Aldabra's are soaked at least once a week, twice is better depending on how hot you keep them
"Inside care" I keep them in rooms that are set at 81 degrees day and night and then they can also go under heated areas in their trays to adjust their own temperatures higher at will.
Bedding is clean fresh Timothy grass or Orchid grass checked to be soft and free of foreign objects that could hurt them
Their trays are completely cleaned out at least once a week or as needed.
Tortoise housing trays are at a slight slant so all liquid flows to the front for easy clean up daily.
100's of baby Aldabras raised up first year with the above method, negative issues so far; Zero
