This week, I continue my Farm Story series by talking about a fan favourite: Higgins, the Russian tortoise. Have you ever wondered what the difference between a turtle and a tortoise is? Or where they come from? What they eat? If you have tortoise questions, I have some of the answers! Learn about how Higgins came to live with me, and about Russian tortoise care and feeding. I also dare to speak aloud the 'open secret' to tortoise ownership! Intrigued? Listen in!

Please visit my Instagram for pics and videos of Higgins doing his thing.

For those in or near Ohio, check out The Herps Alive Foundation if you'd like to adopt a tortoise (or reptile) of your own.

And for baby pics of my pink tongue skinks as they're born, please visit my website: GerrardiiGems.
