Thank you. Yes, he is separated from the other two females. We would soak him in the tub, but our tubs are all full of water, due to a pending water outage any time now. We have water BOBs in the tubs, so it's not as easy as draining it and refilling it. Otherwise I could do that. Yes, we...
Hi All,
We have 3 large Sulcatas, here in Central Texas. All were in excellent health until this Texas Blizzard hit. Our power was our for 3 days and we had to move the torts inside our house (stinky)! Even inside our home the temp got down to 42°F for about a day. Prior to the power going...
I feed my sulcatas the 5E5L formula. What's the difference?

I live in Round Rock, just north of Austin, TX. If you can get him here, we can take care of him. We have a 20lb, a 90lb and a 110lb sulcata, all doing well for years. Our 20 lb was just 10 lbs last year. She doubled in size! Some fresh air, sunshine and plenty of fresh grass will likely do...
I think I remember someone telling me that Texas Tortoises are prone to a certain type of disease that can be transmitted to other tortoises and can be lethal. So, I would make sure he doesn't get to close to your Sulcatas, just in case.
Forgive my ignorance and thank you for setting me straight. We've only ever owned adult Sulcatas, never the babies. We rescued our two adults about 2 years ago and rescued another one, about 20 pounds, last year. I guess all turtles look like Sulcatas to me. Thank you again for the...
Um, they are neither Aldebra nor Galapagos. An Aldebra would be around $1,000 and Galapogos are illegal to own is my understanding. Looks a lot like a Sulcata to me, which are very common. We own 3. They get around 200 lbs. Ours are a little over 100 lbs each now.
