Hello,
I am curious if anyone walks their Torts. I know its funny, but I have been walking my baby sulcata Walter. He loves to walk and he follows me. I walk him on a compact clay dirt road when the sun is around 5 pm, after the road has been well heated all day long. Its full sun but not too intense. He literally walks a brisk ( tortoise style brisk, lol ) pace and when I change directions he turns around and changes with me. I throw down a treat here and there on the road once in awhile and he finds it and wags his little stumper. Every day I have been going longer and longer, he seams to really like it. Yesterday I did a half mile. Of course you need to dedicate about 2 hours for that walk.. lol...
