Do they have vaccinations for Sulcata Tortoises? Can they get diseases from eating their feces? or other animals feces?

No they don't and yes, and yes, they can.

If they eat feces from a dog or cat that has been treated with Ivermectin based meds, like heartworm preventative, it can be fatal to tortoises.
