Thanks for the info! The chain store we got Quagmire in had a pet hospital inside, so we did have him checked out before we even adopted him. Good to know about the Russians and their "courting" habits. Not positive if we will even breed him or not. We are definitely planning it for our...

Do they need to hibernate to breed (as we will be getting a female for him soon)?

Hi all, Today we were browsing our local pet store and saw an awesome Russian that we just had to have! Not knowing much about Russians since we seem to be Sulcata freaks, we noticed alot of posts about hibernation. Do they HAVE to hibernate? Or will he be ok without doing so? We live in...

Yeah... it's Alicia. Thanks for the info! The male eats everything in sight... she is just so picky!

Hi! We tried the Zilla Land Turtle & Tortoise Food pellets, and our torts love them. Thing is, the female now will ONLY eat this... she barely eats anything else. Anyone else have experience with this food, and any suggestions on what we can do to make her eat her vegetables again? (gawd I...

HA! I used to live in Athens!!!

Thanks Missy! We already bought a power converter in preparation for the trip... that was kinda the lines we were thinking :) What part of Illinois are you from? I'm originally from Illinois :)

Thank you for all of the info! How about the actual box or (we we're kinda thinking a tote). We had read somewhere that they should be in a small confined space so they don't move around too much to prevent injury. Where I see the point in that, I think it's kinda cruel to keep them in such a...

Thank you so much! We weren't sure if we needed a heating pad or lights or not since they will be in the cab of the moving truck with us.

We are moving from Florida to Ohio in a few months! We cannot find any information as to the best way to transport Peter & Lois (our torts). Peter is about 6" long and Lois is about 5 1/2" long. Also need to know the best way to keep them heated during the trip. Any help would be gladly...

Thanks for all the useful information,much appreciated!!

00.9% Vitamin B,0.0048% 1-Napthyl acetic acid,it says biodegradeable,No Pesticide,Fertilizer,polluting.... [hr] Here's The Wiki Page On it:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUPERthrive

I was wondering,is there any harm by spraying Superthrive which is a vitamin booster for plants which are housed with my Sulcata Tortoises for them to eat? Such as cacti,grasses,and Aloe Vera?

Ok. Thank you so much :)

We found a couple of flowers on our walk tonight that we thought looked appealing for our 2 torts. We were able to identify them, but not sure if they are edible or toxic for our sulcatas. We took pix plus the name of each flower underneath. Any help would be great! Thanks, Alicia crape...

Thanks! What is a recommended serving of watermelon for a tort about 5" long? We fed it as a treat. Our male hasn't been eating well since we got him yesterday (and the female has been eating like a horse!) which we figured was because of the move, but he absolutely loved the watermelon...

I'm so excited! We read so many people feeding watermelon to the torts that we decided to try it! We've only had them for 2 days... so we're very excited! Here are some pix!

Thank you! Glad to know about the pyramiding. I am Alicia and my fiance Phil (they're actually his tortoises).

Thank you! By the way, we live in Tampa where it's nice and warm! We want to know if the pyramiding is normal, or can you tell by the pix?

We just joined the forum and got our baby tortoises today! This is Peter and Lois (yes we are Family Guy fans!). Peter is about 5" long and Lois is about 4" long. We are guessing that they are around 6 months old. Anyway, just wanted to introduce ourselves! Peter Lois
