Hello everyone for you guys kind comment and wish for my sulcata to become better. I've been soaking him two times a day for 30 min in luke warm water with shredded baby carrot and calcium with D3 in it, pumped the temperature up, moist the enclosure... having the coolest side in the range of...

What kind of enclosure do you have for your sulcata? do you use those glass tank, or self-built wooden enclosure ? do you pour like hot water directly in? Thanks Shannon!

Ohh! ok! Ceramic Heater sounds a good plan. my baby Sulcata has been showing off these symptoms for 2 weeks now. I hope I'm not too late to make him feel better. thank you Zeko for your kind help. I really appreciate it. I will update you guys if he gets better in time!

Sounds good. I will got them under my check list to do for my sulcata. is there any thing I can help my sulcata in terms of his puffy eye and soft plastron shell? I have a typo in my first post where I said soak him twice in calcium diluted water. I meant to say, I soak him everyday, but only...

Hey Zeko and Willington: Thanks for the advice, I should increase my 'cool hiding side' around the range of 85F. hot side so far stays that 100F range. The issue with my enclosure is that if it gets hot and substance gets too dry. I spray it twice a day into the enclosure. but still couldn't...

Hello guys on Tortoises forum: My Baby Sulcata isn't doing very well lately, he is sluggish and have blowing little bubbles from his nostrils. He only wakes up after a 20 min soak and eats up little grass/weed. then he would go back to sleep and won't move at all. I noticed one of his eye is...

Thank you wellington for your kind comments to help me out on my little Sulcata! i'm super glad to find this forum and join in. I've been changing the interior, bedding and switch light bulbs to a better, suitable environment for Sulcata! :)

Thank you leigti welcoming me to the forum. I think I can find some cohesive info mostly here instead of running through the different webpages... substrate and light is a big thing to change now. I hope the situation gets well and my Pudding will not damager his eye! Thank you once again!

Oh no! Maybe that is another factor resulting him poking his eye! I switched out the mini-desert uvb. I was gonna use that one when i'm done installing a dimmer. i thought 100 W would be too strong for a baby so I used the mini one.

I should upload the brand-photo from the pet store. i have 2, I'm currently using the mini-desert one. (first image)

Thanks Yvonne for this! The reptile guy at the petstore suggested Timothy hay, and I read on other places it suggested that it needs both dry and humid areas...so humid is just moss and coconut shred....But I've read people suggested that if the enclosure is moist, it might develop a respiratory...

beautiful creature, cuteness overload

Thank you for the tip of clipping the food together! what a great idea. when my Sulcata trying to "tear apart" the leaf into even smaller pieces to eat, and as the the front leg move to hold on to the leaf, then the toenail would get in the way and eventually poke into the eye socket. I was just...

Hi everyone on Tortoiseforum: It is my first time owning a Sulcata, everything is set up accordingly and I've given my Sulcata good balance in the grass and dark green leaf diet. One concern as I watch my Sulcata eat is that, when sometimes it is trying to eat the leaf with the front leg, the...
