Hello and Welcome.
Lol yeah they are a lot of work sometimes.
As far as introducing them to veggies, your best bet is tough love. If you only offer veggies for a few days or a week or so, they will learn to eat them.
I am no expert by any means but I have a rescued Red eared slider and that's...
It is still too soon to tell if we are gonna leave for the on coming hurricane. But if we decide to leave my baby sulcata and my red eared slider are coming as well. I'm not to worried about Bruno (adult res male) he is pretty tough and I am certain he will travel well.
My concern is the baby...
ok this sounds dumb I know, but does anyone clean their tortoise's beak. My sulcata has a green beak most of the time from constantly eating. He is soaked every day which washes most of it away. Just wondering if I should be taking any measures to clean him up? Any tips
On the mornings I'm off I always take my baby sulcata out for a few hours for some morning sun. I have a routine where I soak him for about an half hr while I'm feeding every thing else. Then he eats and it is outside he goes. I noticed yesterday he was chomping down on some grass, which is...
Ok I have the LS that must be the problem. Thank you so much. I knew what Tom was saying, but you should have seen my kitchen a few hrs ago lol.
Thanks again, I'm gonna order the other pellets now
My 4 year old will be so disappointed, she had a ball helping me crush those pellets up this morning lol.
I prefer to feed the weeds and grass, I have identified a lot but can't remember the names, I just know they are safe. I always have a variety of greens in the fridge for the other animals...
hi everyone,
I feed my baby sulcata. Organic spring mix, collards, mustard greens, grass clippings, clover, a variety of weeds, muscadine grape leaves. He eats well but I'm concerned because he will not eat the commercial pellet foods. I have mazuri pellets along with a bag of tortoise pellets...
Hi all. I built an outdoor enclosure for my baby sulcata. It is 4'x8', and portable. I placed it in the yard that gets full sun to get the morning sun before it gets too hot. I know natural sunlight is best for them, but I don't want him to over heat when it gets hot. I have shade provided and...
My little guy has a healthy appetite, I want to take him outside for some sun tomorrow. I have clover and centipede grass in the yard, no pesticides or chemicals. If he goes to munching on the grass is it safe? I know grass is their main diet, I don't know if all grasses are made equal.
Thank you
Hi all, my name is Jay. I'm the proud new owner of a baby sulcata tortoise. I've been around reptiles my whole life, but this is my first tortoise.
I wanted to join this forum to gain knowledge from the experienced keepers in the hobby.
