what kind of care do they take? how much do they cost?
You can't sell them, so the cost is nothing. They're care is VERY easy. All you need is a yard they can't dig out of, lots of left over fruits & veggies to feed, and some water. They hibernate all winter so they need some type of tunnel/house they can crawl into to go to sleep. Helmet is still kept inside in a huge acquarium with a reptile light on him. He's still too small to let roam the yard since there's ways he could crawl out of the backyard. We do put him out and let him roam while under supervision. OK, confession here: we have him SO spoiled with the indoors that when it gets too hot out he wants in his acquarium! And they call him a desert tortoise!
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
