interesting. I’ve tried the dremel and he freaked out and didn’t come out for a day. Diagonal pliers is interesting. He used to let me pet his head now he won’t let me come close to his face :(
Hi everyone. Long time tortoise owner. I currently have a large male sulcata. He is over 120 pounds and his beak is quite long and is growing out. I have been trying to trim it for months. Vet tried and failed, I’ve tried everything. I had three guys trying to hold him and we couldn’t get him...
Thanks. He's amazing. Ok so I tried to trim his beak with a Dremel this afternoon and it was pretty traumatic, I think for more me and the kids that him (little kid was crying the whole time). I had zero luck. I maybe filed it down a tiny bit, but once he figured out what I was doing he wanted...
Hi everyone. I have a large sully with a weird beak issue going on. I have been trying to trim this down but am not having luck. Should I be concerned about the way this is growing? He lives outside all year and is eating like normal.
hi everyone. I wanted to put this out there for anyone needing to rehome a sulcata. I live west of Fort Worth, Texas, on over an acre and have been rescuing sulcatas for years. I'd be happy to talk with you about rehousing your tortoise!
Hi everyone. I have adopted 4 sulcata tortoises from horrible situations and I have been rehabbing them in the beautiful texas weather. My house has been for sale off and on for the past three years, and miracle of miracles, my house sold and I am moving at the end of november. Due to how...
The story had a happy ending, she went to a home here in Texas. My only conclusion as to what happened here is a scarcity of food. She went crazy when it got really hot and my grass in their area stopped growing. I was supplementing their food but I wonder with the food supply drying up had...
Yeah, he was adopted in last year. Lived in seattle his whole life, inside in a pen, only sunlight through a window. Super sad. He has a funky shell and a really long neck, but we love him. He came to us super aggressive and in bad shape, he has really blossomed. He's a bit beat up now...
I don't know what to do. The male is a rescue, and we love him so much. The female is newer and we bought her. I don't feel like putting these bigger tortoise in a smaller pen is good for them, they've had the run of the whole place for so long. Anyone want a female?
Do you think once that dominance is established she will chill? Its been fascinating to watch, such a large animal be completely docile with a smaller one, then all of a sudden go ape s**t.
