I thought they were desert tortoises but a friend of mine told me they are sulcatas. I have been trying to research how to care for them but so much of the information contradicts each other.
I live in the Phoenix area so I'm assuming they will be fine as far as the temperature goes. I have them in an enclosed area outdoors where they have a spot for shade and also a shallow water dish that I keep clean and full.
My biggest issue right now is food. I read online that I should give them leafy greens, like a spring mix from the grocery store. Then I read to NEVER give them that and to only feed them grass and hay. I want to make sure they are being fed correctly! It seems like the only thing anyone can agree on is no fruit.
Help!
