Hi everyone,
It’s been a very long time, I’m just after some advice.
We have noticed a mark in sullys mouth and we are quite worried, he is eating well and seems alright in himself.
I wondered if it looked like a blood blister, any suggestions welcome, we are waiting for a vet to get back...
Well we bought dried for the winter and then when fresh ones pop up we get them from my mums garden. Don't feed her any cacti or succulents.
Oh my goodness - How would we find this out? Would the vet need to send some bloods off or would it be an x-ray?
For the past 3 months on & off our 5 year old sulcata has been having episodes of brown liquid. Her normal stools are firm and her urine is as clear as a bell. We have take a sample to the vets and there is no sign of parasites or worms when it was examined. The only thing he could see was tiny...
Thank you so much for them helpful tips Tom- I am currently making changes to her living area at the moment, but as she eats everything in site we have to be careful with substrate! She made herself very ill with sphagnum moss a few weeks ago! Little devil. We were trying to create a moisture...
I hope these help I will post more if need be

Slightly concerned about her weight as she doesn't seem to be putting any on- will have to monitor and mention to the vet :(
Hi everyone,
I have a 5 and half year old sulcata and I suspect she is on the small side :S She is kept in a table at the moment as we are making arrangements for her to go outside in the summer at the moment. She is very active and chases us around the flat :)
These were taken about 3...
RE: Please help :(
She is in the bath now... We have discovered she has been sick and is still being sick - just brought up the sphagnum :( Just when you think your doing right boom... It's all wrong and my tortoise is poorly... It breaks my heart...
My 5 year old sulcata tonight has started being sick - She hasn't brought anything up but when she is trying her head is right out, mouth open and you can see it's very distressing for her :(
We have recently put sphagnum moss in the enclosure to create moisture but we think she may have been...
We are using this to measure the temperature- we leave it in there for a good 15-20mins to settle once the bulb had been on for 6 hours- don't know if already mentioned that
The light is on an off/on timer. It's a 100watt and was on for 6 hours and gave out the same heat

Sorry and the bulb is 12inches from the top of her shell.
Hi all
Just installed a powersun lamp in our torts enclosure and the heat it's giving out it no where near enough to bask! It was like 10 degree Celsius what is recommended... And having looked on the Internet it should be giving off more heat from the tests done! Can try be that inconsistent?
Tonight we are making huge changes to sullys indoor enclosure! I pray it's an improvement for her... I will post some pictures once it's done :) I personally think she needs a bigger enclosure now but with her being so close to going out the summer we are providing the best we can with what we...
