My name is Stephanie and at the end of the month my family will be the proud owners of a Sulcata tortoise. We are very excited and looking forward to the lifelong commitment! However, this is our 1st tortoise and we have been doing research for weeks to make sure we provide it with the best home possible. He will be inside until hes big enough to safely be outside in his own habitat. We have a great idea for an enclosure and I think we have an understanding of the best diet but we are struggling with the best substrate. Everything we read says something different so PLEASE help! Also, we are building a wood enclosure and would love advice on the best way to seal the bottom? We are aslo having difficulty finding the plants and grasses he will need to eat on small scale to put in the enclosure. Does anyone know where I can buy seeds and grow my own, online maybe. Home depot and every other place Ive been only has "giant" plants! LOL All opinions welcome please! The pictures Ive attached are of the enclosure that we are trying to duplicate.
