Hi there! I was looking into placing my Sulcata tortoise for adoption to the best home possible. I have had her for 7 years, but now I am injured and unable to properly take care of her. I have fought to keep her for years, but I still feel she would be better off with someone else who could...

So today while feeding my Sulcata, I noticed her eyes looking strange. I won't be taking her to the vet until another week and I am really concerned and stressed. Her eyes looked like they were rolling back and I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone know what this is? She's...

Hello All, I am posting today because my Large 7yr old Sulcata has been acting strange the past couple of days. She is very lethargic and doesn't care to come out of her indoor home. (she sleeps indoors right now-until we can build her a proper outside enclosure) She usually goes out every...

Hello there! I am hoping to have some assistance regarding Pebbles gender. What do you think, Male or Female? Thanks!

I'm currently building a outdoor enclosure for my Sulcata Tortoise, Pebbles. I currently moved from my family home and into my own apartment. It was decided that Pebbles would do best with my family in a home with a big back yard so we are attempting to build him a proper home outside. He is now...

Hi there, Really quick question. After doing a bit of research, I still was not sure what kind of soil to buy or ingredients to look/watch out for my Sulcata tortoise. :tort: I am planning on using the potting soil in a Styrofoam cup to grow some weeds. This was purchased at Home Depot. Do you...

My sweetie Tort, Pebbles is a little over 2 years old now. I see some the same size he is and I see others that are 2 years old and huge. I have consistently read that it's best not to overfeed them. He gets feed once a day around the same time. However, not a variety of food since all flowers I...

My friends Russian Tortoise is having an issue where she tells me he has a red ball/bump on the side of his face. This was the picture she showed me. You can't see the red but you can see the bump. Does anyone know what it could possibly be?

Still doing my informative paper. What is considered the age of a "juvenile" and age of an "adult"? i know its more of a form of opinion isnt it? but i want to include this. Thanks!

I'm having a problem with my Tortoises' shell being stained from the bedding he has. It's moss like. I bought it at petco I believe. It's washable but my main concern is his mouth is stained from the weeds I feed him from outside. His mouth is black now...lol. I don't know what to clean it with...

I'm doing a informative speech on Sulcata Tortoises. For those who have Sulcata Tortoises where are your favorite places to find information that is pretty accurate? Other than here! (websites with lots of information :) Is there anywhere else I would of been allowed to post this?

My tortoises heat lamp goes from 85-87 degrees. I read that it is ideal but if I wanted to raise it to 90 how can I go about doing that? my 80 dollar lamp doesn't have that option. How does everyone else do it? =/ Also I'm going to buy some moss/soil. I was looking for the bulk bag post...

Sometime during the week pebbles started trying to climb his hut which I had never seen before. The older he gets the more active he is! I saw him climbing the hut and didn't think he'd actually be able to do it-he made it half way up and slipped! Here he is when he tumbled. He looked so cute I...

Sorry for the bad quality of the pics! This is my Sulcata Pebbles. He is now about 15 months old. I'm still learning a lot about him. The thing that gets me most is what to feed him & where to get it(the flowers and cactus)! Other than that he has been such a great pet to have and such a...
