Hi. My name is Jaiden and I own 2 sulcata Tortoises. I am 12 years old and got my first tort, Shelly when I was 5. Long story short I was misinformed on how to care for my tort. For my 11th birthday I received Stone, my second sulcata who is a baby. I was so lucky to stumble upon the forum. I...
hi guys. I’m so sad to be doing this and it really breaks my heart but I’m giving up my 2 sulcatas. I am 12 years old and have had my first Tortoise, Shelly since I was 5. I was wrongly informed on how to care for her by a pet store owner and had been taking bad care of her. When I got my second...
hi! I’m looking to start my two Sulcatas on hay due to the availability in my area. I know you prefer orchard grass hay but will other grass hays work? If so what kind?

Hi. I’m 11 years old and have two Sulcata tortoises. So... here’s my story on tortoise forum. I got my first tort when I was 6. As you may be able to guess I had no idea how to take care of her. So, for around six years she got horrible care. Now she is a 10 inch long, pyramiding Sulcata. I hate...
Hi, I have a 6 year old Sulcata! She/he is WAY SMALL for her age at about 10 inches. Before I came here I was not giving her/him proper care. Luckily I stumbled upon the forum and am giving her/him the care they needs now. I know they might be to small but I’d like to have some guesses on the...
Hi, I have some questions/ comments about my 6yo Sulcata. I know I’m probably not doing everything right but that’s why I’m here. I’m 11 years old and it can be hard for me to keep up but I’m trying hard to do my best. I have two tortoises, Shelly (6 yo) and Stone (6 mo).
For Shelly I feel...
Hi guys! It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forum so I thought I’d give an update and while I’m at it I’ll ask some questions. For those of you who don’t know me (most of you) here’s the story of my two torts in the past.
For my fifth birthday my parents got me a baby Sulcata tortoise, who...
Hi, I have a few questions about tortoises giving salmonella. When I first got my tort I washed my hands every time I touched my torts because I was told they can give salmonella. I still do that. I’ve seen all these pictures of people letting there torts around there houses. I don’t let my...
Hi, I have a tort that is around 6 weeks old who is having trouble eating Mazuri Tortoise Diet. Before I knew how to actually take care of tortoises I fed her Lettuce. After I learned how wrong that was I started feeding her dandelions and stuff. For some reason I was having trouble finding...
Hi, I finally moved my 6yo tort, Shelly into a bigger enclosure. It is not completely finished yet but is working great so far. It is 10 by 10 ft. Is there anything you guys think I should add? I am planting grass and other tortoise safe foods in there. I might make her a heated night box but...
Hi, I was wondering how much I should feed my 6yo sulcata. She is very small for her age, only around 10 inches. I can measure her if you need. No matter how much I feed her she always eats it all in around five minutes.
