Update, After a week of no eating the little guy was so weak so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I crushed some spring mix with a morter and pestle until it was a paste, I added some water to make it more of a liquid than a paste, I filtered this liquid through a coffee filter and...

Thank you all so much for your quick responses, I sure hope he makes it. No pet deserves the treatment the was made to endure.

Hello everyone! I have a problem with a sick sulcata tortoise. First some background info. My sister-in-law and I each bought a baby sulcata one year ago. She brought hers home and I had not seen it since. My baby has been growing like crazy and I have not had a single problem with him at all...

I think he looks awesome! His shell is pretty smooth too.

I just thought I would share a pic of my sulcata sunning himself. I cant help but laugh when he lays like this.

Here is another picture of Fluffy...He is helping me with my Calculus 3 homework.

Hello everyone, I am not exactly how old Fluffy is but I have had him for 3 months and he is my buddy!!!

The temps in the enclosure are about 100 degrees on his basking rock that is at one end and its just over 80 at the cool side. As far as humidity I am not sure, I use zoo med bark as the substrate and I spray it daily, I have a potted plant in the enclosure that I water daily. Inside his hide is...

Hello everyone, I am a noob to tortoises and I need some advise, I have read a lot of information in the forum about pyramiding. I have seen many pictures of very deformed shells and want to know if my tortoise is on that path of deformation. I have attached a picture and would love to hear...

Hello everyone, This may be waste of space on the forum but I got a real kick out of it and decided to share. I have a baby Sulcata that I bought about three months ago. I let him soak in the morning almost every day for about 10 or 15 minutes but he still seems to get dirty. So I decided...

I am a Mathematics major with a secondary in Education. I have been a hydraulic mechanic and an industrial air compressor technician and an electronic technician for the last 20 years but I was getting sick of breaking my fingers and being sore all the time so I thought I could get paid to use...

Jacqui, the pet store told me that they were desert animals so hydration wasn't an issue, he had a tortoise with pyramiding and told me that was a sought after trait and rare so I should buy that one. I would have bought it except it wasn't a baby and I wanted to raise one from the beginning. He...

Thanks for the welcome. I live in El Paso, Texas. I will try to post a couple pictures of the set up I made. I hope it works. I understand this is still to small but its way better than his 10 gallon fish tank that the pet store sold me. Its more than double that size. I need to rearrange my...

Hello everyone. My name is William and I just bought a baby sulcata. I bought a setup for him/her and got a list of do's and dont's from the pet store owner. First off this little guy is so cool, I'm very surprised at his personality, he is great. Now I'm the kind of person who questions...
