Should I use this for my Sulcata (8 months old)? Would it be better if I use Mazuri 2 times a week instead of getting this multivitamin? If I do need it how much and how often should she get it?

Hi I found a baby alligator snapping turtle that was lethargic. I am nursing him back to health and he is getting better. Does anyone know about the laws in MS for having one? I think you have to get a permit since they are endangered. I just cant find any straight info on the issue. I dont plan...
Ok my baby sulcata that was lost in shipping for 7 days is not doing so good. He is eating but since the first day I got him he has become less active. He does still move about, just not as much. My question is: Is it normal for his shell to move inwards a little bit? He is just a baby and I...

Ok so this is my first question. I knew it wouldn't take me long :P I have pics up of my baby sulcatas I just got so you can see. The youngest has a real crusty head!?! He even has a big flake on his neck you cant see and he wont let me get. This little guy was lost for seven days during...
OK here are my babies :D They dont have very smooth shells but I think I can fix that. ;) The got pumpkin on their little faces; I figured they could use a treat after having to be shipped. The lady also told me that they carry the rear ivory gene.
