Hi! My name is Oscar.

I am a Sulcata Tortoise from Fairbanks, Alaska.

8 years old

Male

Turtles & Tortoises

Oscar is about the size of a volleyball.


Oscar is another sad story. The people that owned his didn't want him anymore so they threw his in the dumpster. Hence the name Oscar. He loves dandillions and red rose petals. He loves to walk around our front yard and eat grass and dandillions. His species is the third largest tortoise in the world and they can live 100+ years. He will also get over 100 pounds some day.

  Thanx Everyone!
I just want to thank everyone who voted me ROTD. It's nothing I'd expected at all. I just created Gertie's profile yesterday. It was such a surprise. For those of you who are wondering, Gertie is a Nothland Green Gecko. Thanx again!

Come visit me, Geico #48209, Tessa #54005 & Gertie #54004.

  OK Oscar, you win
Your story is much sadder than mine. How anyone could throw a living animal in the trash is beyond me. My owner was just ignorant, not cruel. At least my now-Mom loves me. Me and Sahara are asleep in her laundry room right now, because it is 35 degrees outside and Mom says it is too cold to go outside. Don't want to catch a cold. If you are volleyball size, you are probaby about 4 to 5 years old. Mom says to tell your Mom that if you ever need a warm place (usually) to live, our house is always open to Sulcatas in need.

Come visit me, Sahara, Spike, Voodoo, Summer, Comer & Pancake.
