Hello All,
I've noticed Frankie has been breathing a bit louder than usual tonight. I didn't notice it all day while I was watching him, but now that he is asleep his breathing became more noticeable. I'm not sure if it is concerning or not though. He isn't showing any signs of mucous around...
Hi All,
I will be going on a trip in late September of this year, and I have a yearling sulcata who will be 2 by then. I will be gone for a total of 5 days and 5 nights, and am looking for suggestions on how to care for the little buddy while away. I don't really have anyone nearby who I can...
I have a yearling who is generally up around 7a or 8a, but as soon as 4p comes around they'll march over to their hide or pick a corner under one of the CHE lamps and is lights out until the AM again. While awake the little buddy is very active wandering around and eating lots. Is this a normal...
My little buddy's beak is nowhere near overgrown whatsoever, but I just want to be proactive because I know it can cause really terrible health and eating issues.
I feed my yearling sulcata out of a terracotta bowl and I'm sure he scrapes it a bit with his beak to help keep it trimmed. Is there...
The store where I got Frankie said he was hatched sometime in December, and I'm not sure how accurate that is so I just used December 15th as his bday.
I got the little buddy in March, but didn't start recording his stats until April.
I would like to thank everyone in this community for always...
Hi All,
I have a yearling Sulcata whom I soak every day for 30-45 minutes at about 85°f - 95°f (I change out the water about every 15 mins to keep it warm). Frankie (my yearling Sulcata) seems to love his soaks. He sits in there and he sprawls out and looks totally relaxed.
My question is, at...
I'm designing a new table and want to make sure there is enough space. The overall dimensions will be 7.5' x 3' and I plan on building a small upper deck that will add a few more square footage and I want to make sure it's enough space for the little guy to roam around. Is there a ratio of size...
Hi All,
I've been wondering this for a while and wanted to know if there are signs on a happy or unhappy tortoise. I'm not concerned about my little guy, but wanted to know what signs to look out for.
Thanks!
I know this is a weird question, but I was just curious. I have an 8 month old sulcata and I soak him each and every day for ~30 minutes, and he typically defecates while soaking, but occasionally he will not defecate (maybe once every week or two) and I wanted to know if this was normal? He is...
I have an 8 month old sulcata and I have never given the little guy any fruit before for obvious reasons, but i wanted to know if I could give him maybe like half a strawberry as a treat or will the high sugar content be bad for him? Even if it is just this once
I have a 7 month old Sulcata that I have had since it was about 2 months old and is thriving and growing quickly. This is my first tortoise, or reptile for that matter, and I want to ensure I am doing everything I can to create as positive and thriving environment as I can. I know humidity is a...
