    Thoughts on Mazuri tortoise diet ls?

    My sulcata is 1 years old. He gets calcium once a week. When he gets his calcium I give him some mazuri pellets to mix with the calcium. I’ve heard many different opinions on this. Please let me know. If it isn’t the best for them, what should I replace it with? He doesn’t like to eat his...

    What is your weekly feeding routine for your young sulcata?

    Please don’t comment the articles to read about a care guide. I feel like anytime I post I don’t get answers just the “read the care sheet”. I’m just curious what y’all feed on a weekly basis. My sulcata is one years old. Gets grass everyday. Pellets with calcium once a week. Trying to see when...

    My one year old sulcata is still half the size of the palm of my hand.

    I do everything right I believe. Uvb light, basking light, ceramic heat lamp, pellets once a week with calcium, daily soak, unlimited grass. Has no sign of pyramiding so that’s good. I posted on Facebook and someone said he might be a failure to thrive. I don’t know what that means? He seems...

    What should be included in an emergency kit?

    It’s almost hurricane season. I live right on the coast so I’m nervous about power going out. I live in a condo so I’m sure it’ll go out. I have hand warmers. But that was for winter, if the power went out.

    My sulcata always seems hungry

    He’s is always walking back and forth. He eats some hay but not much. I feed him veggies once a week and 1 pellet 2 times a week on calcium days. I can’t get him grass because I don’t trust the one outside my house. I tried growing it but it never goes well. My sulcata is about 6 months

    Are fake plants a bad idea?

    I was thinking instead of using wallpaper I was going to cover the enclosure walls with fake plants. But I’m not sure if mine will eat it since their green. Don’t want to block him up.

    Oh wow. Thank you. I was reading on the package how much to give him. It did seem like a bit much. So all he needs is a pinch? How much would that be exactly?

    Best way to give sulcata calcium?

    I try putting in his pellets that he likes. He only gets them on calcium days. But he always leaves a lot of it. I tried mixing it with greens and grass he want even touch it.

    Lamps aren’t getting hot enough

    I just moved my baby sulcata to a 40 breeder. This is definitely not permanent and will be for maybe a year or two. His basking is only getting to 78° and the ceramic heat is at 88°. What can I do? I guess it’s like this since the lid is pretty high.

    My 5 month old digs nonstop. Does that mean anything?

    I bought a controller but don’t know how to use it. I tried setting it to 94° but it never would stay at 94 would get hotter. I bought a lamp stand so the light is higher up.
