i placed her in her nursery.. i dont think she likes it to much.. she has already buried her self. This is her first batch, and if she lays them tonite is there a risk she will damage them when she starts moveing around.....
My next question is.. i live in an area where ebt are wild(even...
i have a female eastern that is peggo.. I dont know how far along she is, but when i slightly press my fingers in front of her hind legs i can feel at least three eggs.. she is so bloated she can hardly close her shell.. she is housed outside with her male, but i have a rubber maid water trauf...
yellow wood sorrow.... very high in oxalic acid. i always taste what my torts eat ( i know. wierd huh??), and when i found that i thaught it was clover. i chewed one leaf and it gave me indegestion, felt like i had acid reflux...
has anyone ever built a temporary greenhouse to house their torts for the winter.. my sulcatas love their outdoor enclosure so much i am haveing trouble decideing if i need to build them an indoor enclosure wich you can tell they are not very fond of.. i am thinking of building a greenhouse...
thank all of you for your concern and open hearts for molly the yellowfoot. good news, i finally graduated and started my career and moved into our new house in april.. my vet agreed to help molly for a very resonable price(he is also a tortoise lover). molly has made a complet 360.. her eyes...
i use timothy hay that i have ran through a veggie chopper a couple of times(takes alot of time to get a good amount chopped up in lil pieces) then i mix it with bed-a-beast to hold the moisture in. it is harmless if eaten and my lil guys are so used to it that they wouldnt nibble on it even if...

if i am able to ship her i will split the fee to anyone that has the time passion and resources.. since i am finishing my last semester and working full time i cant check my responses online for days at a time.. if you are serious about caring for this...
i have recently liberated an adult female yellowfoot from a family member that was not caring for her properly at all. i tried to tell her how to care for her for years but she belived that the tort was fine, and that she was doing everything the right way but wasnt. on the last visit i saw how...
i think that 5 is a litle old maybe 3 years or younger, and the threat of salmonilla can be defeated if the parents teach them to wash their hands after handiling them.. when i was five i had hedgehogs boxturtles redear sliders and ducks, and i even used to kiss my turtles (when i was a litle...
dont keep him in that cage to long.. and it might look big enough for 3 more but you will over crowd them pretty quik. the sand is a bad idea because sulcatas are grazers and they nibble at everything.. the thermometer and hydrometer are a LITLE to high it looked about 2 to 3 inches above the...
you only need D3 when they are not in the natural sunlight.. they can O.D on to much vitamins, so if they are outside in the sun at least 20 minutes a day then D3 isnt needed, and additional D3 dose can be unhealthy for your torts.. so if they are outside then just pur calcium is what you need.....
you need to give him mostly grasses .. everything you named is great for treats, but he needs to have a good quanity af grass.. keep feeding him those items but chop it up and mix it up in a pile of bermuda or any other grasses safe for sulcatas.. haveing to much of the right food can also cause...
i have been letting my hatchlings graze on grasses, dandis, clovers ,and hibiscus trees 4 days a week, and lately when i bring them inside, their mouths are dirty and look like they are wearing dark almost black lipstick.. it comes off when i wash them with a q-tip but they hate it when i do...
they can chew on your torts shell and you dont want them eating the rats poop... i had a small rat from petco kill my 3.5ft central american redtail one time so i wouldnt trust them at all... if your tort is small enough bring him inside until they are dead and gone
i dont know if this is all sulcatas or if my lil guy thinks it is food but i will put a bright red baseball in his cage everynow and then and he will spend all day pushing it back and forth..it is good excersise for when it is to cold to go out and roam..but i dont leave it in there so he wont...
buy a large heating pad and tape it to the inside of the rubbermaid.. if he goes in there at night then just plug it in.. it wont get very hot so it is safe... for the kids buy a arm sling shot or a BB gun and hide in the bushes.. the BB gun will be less painful so go with the sling shot...
