Hi Everyone! My two Sullies Hercules and Hazel that I got as hatchlings in August 2011 have gotten BIG and I think they are big enough to determine gender. I just measured them tonight and weighed them a month ago. I'm guessing they're both female but i'm not very good at telling. What do you...

Hi, I just recently rescued two pot belly pigs a brother and sister from a neighbor that was neglecting them. Unfortunately, I have a feeling the female "Penny" is pregnant but I can't say for sure. They are roughly 4 months old, so they're still babies. Anyways, penny has an extremely swollen...

A couple weeks ago I found a puppy by my house with no tags. I put up signs but no one has claimed her so I'm going to keep her. She's still a puppy and only seems to be about 3 months old or so. The first time I weighed her she was 16 pounds and the next week she's 19lbs. So she's growing fast...

I have two yearling sulcata tortoises, one is about 4-5 inches and the other only 3". Anyways, when will they be able to live outside permanently? They are getting pretty big in their enclosure and I don't have room to make a bigger one. Oh! And I live in Arizona :)

I've had Hera since last Christmas and have recently found out she is indeed a he. Today when I went to feed him (like always) I was standing over his "plate" as I like to call it with his food but before I could even get the food on his plate he rammed me at full tortoise speed. What does this...

After seeing Tom's post on his underground housing I had to do it too. My sulcata's are getting on the larger side for an aquarium but this provides them a little more roaming space (for now, lol). Top view! They're enjoying their daily "bath", From their point of view "underground". The...

Hera (couldn't change his name to Zeus, I kept calling him Hera lol) anyways when I first got him in January he was 10" long and 7lbs. Today I weighed him (August 9) and he weighed 9.4lbs. Is a 2.4lb gain in 7 months good or am I not doing something right?

If I use cornmeal in my tortoises enclosure to kill the ants will it harm him if he happens to eat a little of it?

Well, today I took a peek outside my window at Hera's enclosure and noticed "she" was standing straight up on all fours (which she's never done before) and noticed what thought to be her pooping but was in fact "her" penis. So Hera is now Zeus! That was something I needed to experience this...

Ok Hera is a 10" sulcata and weighs 7.5 pounds. She'll eat anything I put out there except Bermuda grass hay. I'm trying to get hay as a more staple diet for her since I have no grass here to feed her. Is there something special I can do to get her to eat it or just tough love and give her only...

Hey everyone! Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while. Just wanted to let everyone know how Hercules and Hazel are doing. They are doing good and growing fast (Hercules especially). They are 7 months old and hercules is 3.5 in by 2.75 in and Hazel is 3.25 in by 2.5 in. I still don't have a...

I decided on a name for "her" and it's Hera (Zeus' wife). She's been doing really good, she has a regular appetite urinates daily and poops occasionally which I think is excellent! She's definitely becoming stronger and stronger and more curious and not afraid. I'm still confused to whether if...

When you breed a Sulcata tortoise from the time they mate to the time the eggs hatch about how long is that? I'm just curious. Thanks for your time! :)

Ok! I measured and weighed my newest sulcata today and these were her measurements. Carapace Length: 10" Width: 8" Height: roughly 5" Weight: 7 pounds Now is it just me or is she supposed to weigh more than 7 pounds? Also, I was told she is 6 years old.

I was noticing today that Hercules may have some slight pyramiding..I surely hope that's not the case and this is normal. I spray him at least 3-4 times a day along with a few soakings per week. I try to keep him as humid as possible! He's about 4 months old and a good 3". Does this look like...

I had just adopted a "female" sulcata tortoise as you've all seen in my other thread but I don't know what to name her? I was kinda hoping to stick with a Greek goddess name but don't know which one. Shes not mean per say but she does hiss at me when I get close or pick her up. She especially...

I just got her from a family that had no room for her..(she was living in a 4ft by 1ft aquarium) and the poor thing couldn't even turn around. Her shell has some pretty bad pyramiding and she had never been outside in her 6 years of life. I was told she was female but I'm not too sure about...

Hercules and Hazels tortoise table doesn't have much if any humidity. They have a hide and I try to keep it damp in there but it doesn't seem to help..it dries up too fast. The table doesn't have a top and that's probably why there's no humidity. How can I get it humid in there fairly easy? I...

Hercules decided to dig a hole underneath his hide to get out. XD
