my 3month old sulcata Dozer just tried to ram my finger. "He" is so little yet and young! Does he hate me ?

I did think about putting it on lettuce the only problem is the vet told me that if he doesn't get ALLL of the dosage of the medicine that he can become immune to it and it won't help him :(

So I was injecting a medication into my baby sulcatas arm and it didn't seem to be working, so I went back to the vet and they have me an oral medication that I have to put in his mouth, I think everyone knows that it's pretty hard to get a tortoise to open his mouth especially because mine is...

Thank you

Still a normal substrate in the hospital tank ? And thank you very much

So I've been trying to heal my baby sulcata from a respitory infection for about 2 weeks now and I've taken him to the vet several times which they didn't want to give him an antibiotic because he is so little. Finally today which is poor dozers 4th vet visit they have me ceftazidime injections...

Thank you

Dozer loves being outside

I was told by a 2 vets that I should not use a substrate with my 6 week old baby sulcata that it's too dangerous for him to consume it and I should just be using newspaper or paper towl till he gets older to make sure he is using the bathroom like he should Right now I'm just using a non...

Thank you !

Yes tom I think I may have read every thread ever posted! Lol I'm just kidding but I spend most of my time trying to learn more everything is inspect except his night temps were getting about 72-75 but I did get a night heat lamp that keeps it at about 80-85

I believe my baby sulcata tort has a respitory infection. I took him to my vet and he sent him home after 2 days and said he was healthy and that the bubbles coming from his nose are just him secreting salt from his body. Still doesn't explain the popping noises he makes when he opens his mouth...

Beginner mistake, I ordered him offline and I usually take him outside but after having a pretty bad thunderstorm we are now experiencing a couple days of chilly weather

Took him to the vet today he said he will be fine and there is no sign of hfs! He gave him vitamin and calcium drops and he is eating and running all over the place today!

My baby sulcata "Dozer" is 5 weeks old and weighs 44 grams, is this a normal weight for his age or is he underweight??

Thank you

I sure hope my baby doesn't have hfs idk what I'll do I've not even had him 3 weeks and I'm so attached! He is still active as ever and eating fine I will DEFFINATLEY start soaking him everyday and will change his bulb out as soon as I can ! :(

I used to keep water in his enclosure and he wouldn't even go anywhere near it I will put it back in and what is a better diet that won't block calcium?

Basking temps are about 98-103 and his night temps are 75-80 I am going to try a new substrate even though my vet told me the pellets were fine and I soak him about 15-20 min

I don't have a soaking dish in his enclosure but I do take him out to soak every 2 days
