Arizona Tortoise Tubes

11/01/2025

This week’s video features our first Sulcata burrow of the season. Watch to find out why they’re much more work than building a burrow for a Sonoran Desert Tortoise. If you enjoy any of the videos on our YouTube page, please subscribe to our channel. If we reach 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year, we’ll give away another free burrow! It costs nothing to subscribe, and your support can help a lucky tortoise get a free home!

We built this dude an awesome burrow which was a major upgrade from his previous home.

I just got a bag of Moringa Powder for my tortoises from Teva Farms. I’ll be honest, I didnt really know anything about it but after doing some research, there seem to be some great benefits for tortoises. Check out their page and consider buying some for your tortoises! Liza and Willie are amazing and are also tortoise lovers. They sprinkle this powder on their tortoises food 2-3 times per week. Follow their page and show them some love!

We’ve been hard at work since the weather has cooled off and we still have many more jobs to come. If you’re the DIY type and you need a tube for your burrow build, we’ve got plenty of those for sale. If you’re looking to avoid hours of digging and hauling in dirt for your burrow, you can hire us and we’ll do it for you. If you’re just looking for a friend that enjoys talking about tortoises, we’re here for that too!

We're based out of Queen Creek, Arizona. We build Desert and Sulcata tortoise burrows as well as provide the Tortoise Tubes to build your own.

Can anybody tell what’s wrong with this burrow? This is the free burrow that we did and posted on FB a couple weeks ago, and two followers pointed out a major flaw. Check out the YouTube video that was posted today to see what was wrong with it and what we did to fix it. Also find out what kind of buried treasure we found and why it’s stuck to my eye 🧐

So many people had flooded burrows after the epic rain that we had last week. I was no different. I did my best to waterproof this burrow but it didn’t matter this time. Here’s the rebuild! Link to the new YouTube channel will be in the comments!

The rain has finally stopped and Shelldon is out catching some rays today. I can’t wait for the sun to dry out the enclosures that are a muddy mess right now. Shelldon usually goes into his burrow for good at the end of October so I think these will be our last days together until spring.

We just finished building our second free burrow for the year before we made this video so we were exhausted, soaked in sweat, and filthy. Be grateful that you couldn’t smell us through this video 🤢
Stay tuned for the video of the free burrow build that we did for a school in the northwest valley!

This is the perfect time of the year to add some plants to your desert tortoise enclosure. The tortoises should be going down for their winter naps so planting now gives the plants a chance to get well established before the tortoise wakes up. I have a few plants for sale. They are all naturally growing Arizona plants that are safe for Sonoran Desert Tortoises to eat. They are grown in regular desert dirt without any kind of fertilizer. Message me if you’re interested in swinging by and picking some up. I don’t have a ton but I’m hoping to have a lot more by spring. Selling for $20 per plant.

AZ has been hammered by rain the last 2 days. These are the kind of storms that will test even the best burrows. I hope everyone’s burrows held up and if they didn’t, I hope you know what kind of improvements to make for them to be completely weather proof for future storms.
