    How often can I feed my 8 month old Sulcata Veg?

    No kidding, we have a 70 pound "bulldozer" here and he pushed a railroad tie out of the way so he could escape from his pen. We were able to recover him and made a much harder to escape from enclosure for him.

    Tortoise Sanctuary in Florida?

    We have a Male Sulcata here in Harlem Georgia that could use a friend. We have had him for several years and are in the process of building a larger, more Tortoise Friendly enclosure for him. It will look like an old fort and have a shower that he can control by stepping on a pad that turns it...

    Why do they even keep the tortoise

    Here is a pic of our baby Sulcata.. we call him "Mr.T" we think he is about 9 or 10 years old.. we got him as an adult 2 years ago. The "pyramiding" was from his previous owner who didn't realize his dietary needs. As you can see from the food thrown up on his shell, he knows what he likes.. lol

    Why do they even keep the tortoise

    Those things are indeed "cute" but I doubt the chicken in the video I saw that was wearing "socks" thought it was cute. When I figure out how to upload video I may try to post it here if that is acceptable.
