I have been giving my 10-11 mo old sulfate tortoise Mazuri pellets usually 2 a day but for the last week he stopped eating them and he used to love them.....also he stopped eating in the last couple of weeks when he used to devour everything in sight...does anyone give their tortoises romaine...
I also have a sulcata young tortoise about 8-9 Mos old who all of a sudden stopped eating too. Until this he was a great eater....the Mazuri food he loved along with lettuce, and just about everything I gave him....about a week ago he just stopped eating . A friend who works at the Phoenix...
Your article has really helped me....I got 2 baby sulcatas about 6 Mos ago and all of a sudden one of them died..now the other one is refusing to eat anything....I have tried giving it everything you mentioned above but it hasn't eaten in 3 days....any suggestions...I think it misses its friend.
I see the picture and why do you think he is pyramiding? the bottom of his shell looks like it is turning up ...is that it? because the top of his shell looks fine like my 2 tortoises look
We just recently moved to Arizona and I have a one day a week job at the Phoenix Herpetological Center ....where I take care of reptiles including hundreds of Sulcata Tortoises....feel free to contact me at [email protected] ....I adopted a baby sulfate and then another one....and I would love to...
