Good morning everyone! Thanks for highlighting your big tortoises today, Kenan! They’re the reason I found and subscribed to your channel! I stayed because of your entire Kamp❤
All great advice Kenan. I’ve found a huge difference in my juvenile Russian ever since adding more aggressive rock out crops, downs branches & changing food/water dish locations etc. It’s really fun watching them think & exercise.
I just got over a bit of cold myself. Was actually a rough couple days. Wasn't the coof thank goodness, took a couple of those home tests and was negative. Actually got the coof once in the beginning and nothing since. Thank goodness for a strong immune system! Plenty of vitamins and sun is the key FOR ME.
Thanks for the reminder. I need to get my desert tortoise out into the desert here in AZ for hikes and browsing more often before it really heats up out here. 😊
One thing I though would be interesting to look into is growing opuntia cactus inside the enclosure, but protect the base of the plant to they can only reach the overhanging pads. In the wild Galapagos giant tortoises are responsible for essentially pruning mature opuntia cactus into almost a topiary. The cacti end up having a trunk the tortoises don’t consume, but the tortoises do reach to try and get the softer pads on top. They have a huge relationship with the native opuntia on the Galapagos. It be interesting to try and mimic that in captivity.
Kenan thank you for all the content you make I have a real appreciation for what you do. I did share on social media of your post yesterday to hopefully spread the word. I had been shaking I was so mad but hopefully enough people can get together so that change may happen. again ,thank you for what you do.
I love how boy tortoise will let you know they boys when they feel like. I have 2 Horsefield Tortoise who are both 3 and both decided to show me last year while soaking. I was quite shocked as the research I had done said you can’t sex them until they are at least 5. I think boys just like to show off 😂
The climate in southern Florida is just amazing. The things you can keep and grow there...The small palm forest next to the enclosure are Serenoa repens?
A great educational video. I learn more from these than from BBC or NatGeo doc's. As for the male tortoise; boys will be boys! I always thought it odd that giant tortoises on remote, predator-free islands have shells, since a lot of energy is used to grow them. I wonder if shell-less giant tortoises have ever evolved on an island/s somewhere?
Keep those ads short Kenan and ill keep watching them instead of skipping! I can handle a 10 second ad! In fact, i enjoy being able to support in a small way. ❤
I know the feeling of being cramped for space. Been in the hospital for a few weeks with a severe infection in my leg from my ankle to my thigh. Finally seems to be under control so hopefully going home Monday.
Bob, I am so sorry. Hope you do indeed get to go home Monday. You have done so much for Kamp Kenan and I, a relative new-comer, really appreciate you !
#BobHutchinson I'll be praying and keeping you,your wife and family in my prayers session,stay blessed and traveling grace to you my friend 🙏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👊🏼🫵🏼💪🏼🫱🏼🫲🏽✊🏼 💜
I remember when I worked at my local zoo, we had several Galapagos and every year during mating season we would have parents complaining about them mating out in the open. We would tell them this is a zoo with animals loving as natural as possible. We aren't going to take them off exhibit throughout their mating season. Told them to use it as a learning experience for their kids. Little kids won't think twice about what they are seeing unless someone older males a big deal about it.
Yeah that makes sense picking up a tortoise must feel pretty unnatural and so it voids. It's wild that it could be life threatening. There are so many reptiles that void for defense. But I'm guessing water is much more essential to a tortoise
You have so many ticks there every year! I live in Florida too but don't experience hardly any ticks w my dogs. They do have the seresto collars so maybe thats why and i use diatomaceous earth in my yard regularly.
Hi Kenan Loved the video, and learning so much information on your beautiful tortoises. They are as all so awesome. I like that they all have a different personality. Who doesn't love s good scratch😅 How exciting, the first video of a male tortoise penis. You don't see that every day😂 They are going to love to be in their summer habitat. Where's is the water? We want to go into the pool. ❤🐊,Lizard,🐍🐢Cindy
Hi Kenan, great video love your content. you have 2 Galapagos tortoise. Are they both females or one male and female and if they’re both females are you planning on getting a male?
My Giant Cakes getting some Freedome. 😂 it confused Tortoises with Torten a german Word for a Kind of Cake and also older slang for nice looking Woman. Google Translate ❤️ Not that they don't look nice.😄 Hope for them to thrive further and maybe some small Cutys one Day, when they're ready.
@kampkenan *Nostradamus* 7:30-8:07 hmm 🤔 💭💬 🤨 he knows .. he's a man. Kenan Harken you are a pimp magnet for affection .. I said this before lol .. Affection and grooming from one animal to another animal. Or in this exact instance from one animal to another species of animal ..is the *Honorable Highest Form Of Praise Admiration and Respect* in the animal kingdom
Wait... WHAT?! “Heinie, penis, arousal?” >GASP< Kenan you need to save that sort of material for your “Only Fans” channel; “The Tortoise Hub!” I’m afraid the algorithm will reflect YT’s displeasure in this flagrant violation of terms! 😂
I'm so opportuned irrespective of the economic crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $33,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10days
