Common Names: Aldabra Tortoise, Aldabra Giant Tortoise
Overview
The Aldabra Giant Tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) is one of the largest and most iconic tortoises in the world. Native to the Aldabra Atoll in the Indian Ocean, part of the Seychelles, these majestic creatures can live for over a century and are known for their massive size and slow, deliberate movements. They have a domed, dark shell and can weigh up to 550 pounds (250 kg) when fully grown. These tortoises are herbivores and play an essential role in the ecosystem by grazing on vegetation and helping to maintain the balance of their environment. They are currently classified as Vulnerable due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.

Care Notes
Activity Level: Slow-moving and deliberate. Aldabra Giant Tortoises are not particularly active, but they require large areas to roam and graze.
Health: These tortoises need access to sunlight for natural vitamin D synthesis and must have a proper diet to avoid shell deformities and obesity.
Social Nature: Generally solitary, but they can tolerate being housed with other tortoises of the same species. Aggression is rare but can occur in overcrowded conditions.
Breeding: Aldabra Giant Tortoises lay eggs, and females can lay multiple clutches per year. Egg incubation requires careful monitoring of temperature and humidity.
Conservation Status
Conservation Status: Vulnerable (IUCN Red List)
Threats: Habitat destruction and climate change
Conservation Efforts: Conservation programs are in place to protect the species, particularly on the Aldabra Atoll, where they have a protected, natural habitat. Breeding programs are also conducted in zoos and wildlife reserves to help maintain the population.
Fun Fact
The Aldabra Giant Tortoise is not only one of the largest tortoises but also one of the longest-living creatures on Earth. Some individuals in captivity have been known to live more than 150 years, making them a symbol of longevity and resilience. Their slow and steady lifestyle is a unique feature of this remarkable species!

Great toys for dogs or cats
Size: Small 2"
Sturdy, durable toys. My dog loves the jingle. Great size. Fits in her mouth but not so small we have to worry about her swallowing them.

Perfect for your blind babies
Size: Large 3", Size: Large 3"
I know most dogs that go blind in their later years do just fine, but when they were very active with a daily ball fetch routine, it can be tough to watch. These little balls are exactly what I needed!! The jingle ball inside is great and as long as you've got plenty of obstacle free space, it's just like playing ball when he had his sight. He also loves to just carry it around and chew on it. Highly recommend

Absolute game changer for chronically dry feet/cracked heels
Size: S (up to size 7)-Beige
I had recently bought a pair of silicone heel/ankle wraps to fill out my boot a little since I noticed my heels were lifting when I was skating. I tested them out around the house and noticed they left my heels softer while the rest of my sockless feet got quite dry. So I got these full foot silicone socks to see the effect of having my whole foot covered. I slather the entirety of my feet with Dr. Scholl's Severe Cracked Heel Restoring Balm (love how convenient it is to apply it to my feet with the solid stick form) and then slip them into these silicone socks. After just a couple hours, when I pull out my feet they're (a teeny bit sweaty at first), but then overall soft and smooth and have absorbed the balm fully leaving barely any residue in the silicone sock. I find these silicone socks generally comfortable; I wear them in the evenings while relaxing on the couch, take them off after a couple hours and let my feet breathe a bit, and then reapply my balm and socks and wear them to bed. If I wake up in the middle of the night, which I almost always do (not because of the socks), I'll take the socks off and allow my feet to breathe again. I wear a woman's size 6 shoe and the small size is pretty comfortable. However, I made the mistake of wearing them while being on my feet for a couple hours straight during household chores -- they must've somehow cut off my circulation a bit with the standing, so I wouldn't recommend wearing these silicone socks while being active. And since they're not exactly my foot size, they slide around sometimes and will start to feel tight at my big toe. But if that happens, I just tug on the toe area of the sock to give my big toe more wiggle room and problem solved. Prior to wearing these socks, I was soaking and doing heavy duty exfoliation of my feet every week. These socks seem like they'll work to help me extend the time between soakings and exfoliations. The 5 pack is a great value. So far none have torn, so they seem rather durable. Not sure what I could even do to tear a hole in these.
