Giving a Galápagos tortoise some neck scratches at Three J’s Tortoise Sanctury! In the wild, Galápagos tortoises and finches have a symbiotic relationship, which means, it’s mutually beneficial to both parties. The finches pick off parasites from the tortoises, and in return they get a free meal! Scratching them like this stimulates “finching” and they seem to enjoy it! A huge thank you to Jason for allowing us to visit! 🐢💕 | Gabby Nikolle

Yesterday we posted a video of the tortoise scratching station that we built at The Fenn Bell Conservation Project, which a lot of you loved. We had a few of you asking for plans, which, unfortunately, we don't have available right now. However, here is the 3D model that we use when designing, and hopefully, this gives you a good idea of how it works and is made. Be sure to tag us if you go ahead and make a version of this, as we love to see the designs being used elsewhere. And of course, if yo

We are home to 4 Sulcata Tortoises. They are such incredible creatures. Did you know that tortoises can feel their shell? You can tell if the tortoise is enjoying the touching or scratching of its shell if they extend their neck! #sulcata #tortoise #shell #yawn | Because We Matter

Though it may look like a hard, lifeless shield, a tortoise’s shell is made of bone and covered in scutes—plates made of keratin, like human fingernails. The shell is connected to the tortoise’s spine and ribcage, and it’s rich with nerve endings, allowing the animal to sense touch, pressure, and even pain. When you gently rub or scratch a tortoise’s shell, it often responds by
