    Show me your best pics of your tort!

    We had hermit crab sand and coconut bark mixed but have since taken out the sand. Particles too small and he could possibly breathe them in. At least that’s what the rep at PetZoo told me.

    Help with fire ants!!!

    I’m having to deal with fire ants as well! Our tortoise is only a year old so he won’t be out in the yard where all the ants are for a while. I used the baking soda and vinegar method on an ant nest and haven’t seen many here since. But I have seen a few. I read that ant nests or colonies? Can...

    For Those Who Have a Young Sulcata...

    I’ve been using ZooMed Grassland Tortoise Food in place of actual grass as we live in an apt complex and they use pesticides on the lawns. It has added vitamins and minerals as well.

    Only eating Hibiscus?

    Thank you, I did read that somewhere lol, probably here. I cut out all broccoli from his diet. Tried the dandelion greens but he’s not really interested, he’s now only eating grasses with an occasional treat. And maybe a nibble or two of the dandelion greens.

    Why didn't anyone warn me..

    He has shown zero interest in eating the moss. Only the greens and grasses. He is pooping and peeing normally. But I’ll keep an eye out for it.

    Only eating Hibiscus?

    My Sulcata only wanted to eat broccoli. So I took the broccoli away and give only grasses and dandelion greens. I make sure the grasses are moistened and sprinkle on the greens so I know he’s at least getting a small bit of the grasses. Everything I’ve read says grasses are the most important...

    I have a one year old Sulcata. Spencer Reid. So far no digging. He loves his hide though! He loves the coolness of the orchid Moss I keep in there.

    For Those Who Have a Young Sulcata...

    Thank you for the info! I’ve intordiced grass to my little one but he seems to want broccoli instead. I’m going to reduce the amount of broccoli daily so that he’ll be eating grass. We are moving in a couple of months to a house with a backyard that has grass. Can’t wait!

    Ever Wonder How Fast A Sulcata Can Grow?

    Awesome! How big is your enclosure? I was recently gifted a Sulcata (Spencer Reid) and while we are moving to a house with a backyard, I’m wondering how big I should make his initial enclosure outside once he’s big enough.
