I'm gonna run to Walmart tonight and get a hand chopper and try that if that doesn't work then we'll have to try going on strike again ... He gets his mazuri typically around noon, he devours it and he is stuck with greens until the next day around noon so if he gets hungry he's only.stuck with...

I don't know is weight. We went a week on strike one time...nothing touched. He is currently still eating the plain mazuri from the breeder but I ordered mazuri ls which I should get in the next few days

How long can a strike go on before it could hurt him?

I've tried mixing, I've tried making a paste. I've tried putting mazuri underneath. He gets mad, destroys his tank, spreads his food all over, and won't come out of his house

Thank you I saw I didn't think the other thread posted which is why I made this one... I don't know how to delete it... I'm not sure but I can weigh him.

Sorry forgot to reply about the cuttle bone. He has one but he uses it to file his nails.... I have a rebel of a tortoise.. And thank you those spots and coloring is what made me choose him :)

I do this.... still doesn't touch it

I used to put the Mazuri under his veggies in hopes he would eat through... in stead he would destroy his tank, throw his food everywhere, and stay in his house all day. I do soak the Mazuri and typically pour the water I soaked it in over the veggies hoping it will small like Mazuri and be...

Hey yall I had a few questions.... I have a 5 month old sulcata he gets calcium with d3 twice a week and soakings every day in warm water in 30 mins... is this to much? Okay now to my main issue.... My sulcata only likes his junk food! He gets 5 Mazuri pellets to last him through the day...

Okay guys I posted a similar post before but I am a worried first time tortoise mom and wanna make sure everything I am doing is 100% correct, but I do have some questions... I have a 5 month old sulcata, calcium 2x a week and 30min soakings in warm water every day (is this to much?) I give him...

Okay yall Sampson (my baby tortoise) got a complete redo of his terrarium! He has a cuddle fish bone in there (I'm still gonna put calcium in his food twice a week if I don't see obvious marks), thicker coconut bedding, and a lot of bedding in his house for him to burrow in. I'm now soaking him...

- he has the flukers sun spot and a black ceramic during the day, and at night he has the infrared basking light. I will definitely look into the CHE lights also. - I am going tomorrow to get a silicone mold to make my own calcium blocks for him, I am still gonna supplement it into his food...

Thank yall so much! I'm off tomorrow so he will be getting a tank redo! We also just had our first try outside in the grass and he loved it!

I looked up some humidity items are the typical reptile humidifiers good for tortoises? Like this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R1PLLX2/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20

I live in South Louisiana it's pretty humid here all the time. How do you add humidity to the tank? I also have thermometers on his basking side and cool side and the cool side stays about 75-80°F

I was told Mazuri wasn't a good food for them by multiple breeders and owners. Why do you recommend soaking daily? I give him calcium every other day, I'm going to get a silicone mold to make my own calcium blocks for him so he can eat it when it wants

Hey yall I'm new to owning a tortoise! I have a 3 month old sulcata that I've had about a week. He is currently in a terrarium with coconut fiber substrate, gets uvb and heat during the day (stays about 100°F) on one side of his tank, during the night he has an inferred lamp (stays about 90°F)...
