Hello all
New to the forum and new to sulcata'S
I just adopted two salcuta male and female (I think?) The "male" is active and eating like crazy but the "female" is not eating nearly the same and basically goes and hides most of the day. She will come out and eat but only for a few minutes then goes right back to the same spot and sits there all day and night. I have owned a few tortoises in the past but never a salcuta so I'm not sure what their behavior is like.
I do have plenty of space so they are not crowded. The weat her is pretty warm getting up to 95 in the middle of the day.
They have plentry of grass to eat with lots of dandelion and clover which the male is devouring. I have also fed them assorted greens here and there.
I have had them for 1 week so maybe she is just getting acclimated to her new home?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
