    Rescue sulcata hatchling. UPDATE!

    A big thank you to EVERYONE who contributes to these forums, before finding tortoise forum I had no knowledge of how to properly care for turt other than a basking lamp and food/shelter. Now I feel like a pro and have found myself to be researching different (smaller) species lmao I want them all!
