Potty trained Tort
Hey guys.....
Got a new strange one for ya......well for me anyhow
Have any of you tortoise (sulcata) keepers ever have one "use the potty" ?
My older Tortoise, Speedy, started using an empty cat carrier !! I thought it was a fluke at first....figuring she was sleeping in it and just had an accident.....but no. She only goes into the carrier to pooh and sleeps in her hidey hole. She's been doing it now for nearly 2wks.

LOL.....it definitely makes cleaning easier !!
I'm hoping the others follow his lead too.
Merlin....I did that with my cat, she got it for a couple of years then suddenly regressed to a litter box, though I do catch her still using the potty occationally.
The dog...man if I could get him toilet/tub trained....how easy would my life be then?

Mine was easy...I have a little redfoot, she doesn't like a messy cage and only goes in her water dish. Pretty easy to clean. She started doing that last fall and hasn't had a single accident since. Pretty smart little girl.
