You are the most knowledgeable person on this forum and the person I trust on here the most. I was not talking about you. You should be more sad than anyone on the state of this forum. Since I’ve joined you have been the most helpful person with you experience. I’ve read in previous posts you...
I’m really just using this forum as research to make the transition go as smooth as possible. I’m on day 5 of the introduction and each day has been better than the last (if anyone even cares). It’s a sad day when this forum has just become another trolling site. Have a nice day and stop...
Holy cow. This forum has gone down hill. I am asking for advice from people who have dealt with similar situations. People with experience. I don’t need teenagers telling me what the relationship between my tortoises I raised from hatchlings was like based on a paragraph. If you don’t have...

My teenage/adult sulcata is wobbling when he walks. I live in Phoenix and we are transitioning to winter so there are some changes right now in diet and environment. In a previous post I noted he is eating chunks of top soil from the winter grass. I’ve penned him up so now his primary diet is...
I am in Phoenix Arizona. I don’t know how to put that in my profile. There was light amount of fertilizer used in the top soil but not much. Nothing else was mixed in.
