I have 2sulcatas, both of them are 3months old.
One of them has not been pooped off while being forced soak for a several weeks.
But the other one always pooped off immediately after put him in warm water.
If he has not pooped off for several week, he would be alright?

I've just finished setting up new house for my baby sulcata
following many advises about separating species...
please see and comment.
I'm not sure how much proper temperature and humidity for sulcata and leopard and for the indian also..
Please give me some comments about my idea of this...
I bought 3 idian stars (1.5") last month from JJ.
After bought a couple of day, one of them died (I had not been yet even named him)...
Last week another one "Daoden" died..
And today the last one "Pingpong" passed away..
Without any signs happened, before died, they still ate and...
If someone raised the indian star from 1.5" baby till become adult.
Please share how you are raising them.
My 2 babies (1.5") died.
Now remained only 1 baby. And I would like to raise him till adult.
My baby indian star's just passed away.
Please tell me why did he died.
Yesterday, he still ate a lot, and still actively walking around.
there was no sign of his sick..
This is 2nd baby indian who died in my attentions.
First one died after bought two day.
I'm so sad. (i i
Or because I changed...
I see many members write down some number before tortoise species in their signature...what does they mean?
for example
2.4.2 Geochelone sulcata
What's the meaning of 2.4.2?
I've followed advise from a lot of friends in TFO
to change bedding from corn cob to orchid bark.
After just changed, my indian star ate bark accidentally,
that would effect deadly impactions to him.
I'm very worried.
I attached picture of bark he ate.

Hi there!
I'm Ekkapat from Thailand.
I'm new here and just posted initial thread yesterday.
This "TortoiseForum" is so helpful and useful for me.
In Thailand, tortoises are not so popular as pet then hard for me to get helpful information.
I have 3 Indian star, 1 sulcata, and 1 leopard...
Actually I don't know actual ages of my five torts.
As links below, in the last scene of "My baby tortoises" video
I wrote down their ages by guessing from my feeling.
Could some of you tell me more correct ages of my five torts?
