Hippo, A Sulcatta Tortoise, Our newest resident

Hippo came to us all the way from California where he was living with a foster parent, who is a part of the Turtle and Tortoise Club of California. He was very well cared for, but he likes to be the big dominant male and the little males were getting in his territory. So his foster mom asked us if we had room for this big boy. So I asked my wonderful sister-in-law and mother-in-law if they could bring Hippo with them when they came to visit, and they said they would. So Hippo, who weighs close to 70 lbs, hitched a ride up to Idaho and has been a great addition ever since.
