Lookin good man!

Awesome! Isn't Squirtle the Pokemon turtle creature?

Surprisingly, my hatchling loves grass now! I fed it a pile of 3 different types today, every last bit of it gone! :cool:

Thanks for the advice! Especially on the chopped grasses, will get to it asap.

This is my Sulcata hatchlings current diet: 50% white, red, and dino clover 40% dandelion leaves 5% African elephant bush leaves 5% wild strawberry leaves It just won't eat any type of hay or grasses. Is this diet ok? I sprinkle calcium carbonate powder over its food about 4...

http://tortoiseforum.org/thread-7580.html I guess its fine to feed to our torts, no oxalic acid. I only feed my Sulcata hatchling white clover, red clover, dino clover, dandelion leaves, African elephant bush, and occasionally wild strawberry leaves. The main plant its diet is dino and white...

My Sulcata eats a lot of white clover, but I just recently started growing massive amounts of red clover indoors. He absolutely goes nuts over the stuff!! Practically inhaling it. Anyone else feed their Sulcata a lot of red clover?

My Sulcata is still a hatchling, but I clean it up after every soak. I mostly just make sure the underside is clean, and wipe its rear with a wet paper towel. After the soak, I pour water over its shell & head, just to get any accumulated dust off.

Talk to Eric at Empire of the Turtle. Great guy to deal with, and beautiful captive bred specimens! http://www.empireoftheturtle.com -nevermind, I just saw you're in London. :-P

I've been feeding my Sulcata regular white flowered clover since it arrived (along with various other greens), and came across red and dino clover seeds at a local seed store. Are these types of clover ok to feed? Here is red clover : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifolium_pratense It...

Yeah I wouldn't purchase the already powdered aragonite, but purchasing aragonite sand and pulverizing it yourself will be a lot cheaper than purchasing any calcium carbonate supplement at the health food store. You would end up with so much of it though, it would probably be a better idea for...

What about using ground (powdered) aragonite reef sand? Its pretty much pure calcium carbonate, along with major and minor trace elements.[hr] Nevermind, looks like Caribsea has already created an aragonite based calcium supplement for reptiles ( waaaay overpriced though ;) )...

This website has some good basic info http://home.earthlink.net/~rednine/sulcatacare.html

Congrats! Great looking Sulcata! :cool: Got any videos?

Man I love this thing! :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC63UTzfWOk

Thanks guys! :) I haven't named him/her yet, still working on that! I was thinking Soup, but we'll see :P

Hey thanks! I bought mine from Empire of the Turtle in Florida. If anyone wants an extremely healthy Sulcata hatchling, definitely contact Eric on his website. I can't believe how vibrant and full of energy this tortoise is! :)

My Sulcata hatchling arrived today in perfect shape! I can't believe how much it eats! I soaked it for about 15 minutes when I took it out of the box, and within an hour of exploring its new surroundings it began eating everything! :D It chomped on everything that is planted in the terrarium...

Ya know Meg, you really just need to get over it. Do you constantly have to bring a dark cloud to my posts/threads? I mean no harm to anyone on this forum, I appreciate all the great information I obtain from the forum, and hopefully I'll be able to soon share my tortoise experience with others...

Have any of you heard of this Kentucky import license/fee? http://fw.ky.gov/pdf/indtransportapp.pdf I don't get it, I order live fish, invertebrates, coral etc a few times a year, and have never heard of this. I'm trying to purchase a Sulcata tortoise from a place in Arizona. I placed...
