New Sulcata Owner

[jfle5005]

Hey Guys!

I'm a new owner of 2 baby sulcatas and thought it would be best to join this forum! We live in Hong Kong and very excited to add these little guys to our family. Have attached a pic of them

Congrats on the new babies! Welcome to TFO also.

Congratulations on your new tortoises and welcome to the forum!!!

FYI - the dark globular spots on their shell and the dark-colored speckles on their skin indicate that they are Leopard tortoises, not sulcatas. Sulcatas don't have those.

(or possibly a hybrid between a leopard and sulcata....)

They are very cute!!!

Oh really?!! Leopard heyyyy....so they won't be growing as big as I thought then! Any tips on what to feed them then? I've been trying to give them pellets soaked in water but they won't eat them!

Greens. Any dark leafy greens that you can buy at the store for human consumption would be good for your little leopard babies.

Hello and Welcome all the threads at the bottom of my cage pertain to raising sulcatas. They will help you a lot. Also, please read the thread I am putting here. It's a heads up on person you don't want to deal with. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-51382.html
