    How To Raise Sulcata Hatchlings and Babies discussion thread

    RE: How To Raise Sulcata Hatchlings and Babies. I have heard that ReptiSun was the best for the UVB output. It's not the coil ones but is the tube like flouresent light. What is your opinion on that one? We were talking about it at a herp show today. Robin

    How To Raise Sulcata Hatchlings and Babies discussion thread

    RE: How To Raise Sulcata Hatchlings and Babies. I know I'm not Tom and I am fairly new to the sulcata scene but my babies have never even touched their cuttlebone so I have to do the powder.

    Dog Poop

    Wow, sounds like some of you don't think I take care of my animals! I give my babies their vitamins and calcium and cuttle bone, etc etc etc. No I don't put them in the poop intentionally or serve it up on a platter. Yes I know it's bad for them as I suggested in my first post. Really I'm not...

    Grape leaves

    Thanks, the Black Jacks are a type of oak I think, but they are nasty trees that get hollowed out and break and are really bad at coming down in ice storms.

    Grape leaves

    I live in Oklahoma and there are some grape vines that do not produce the fruit. I don't know what it's called but they sure look like grape leaves to me. They grow wild and the vines get so thick and grow up the trees someone could probably swing on them. Anybody know what they are? or if they...

    Dog Poop

    Yep, you heard it right, it's all I can do to keep my babies from eating dog poop! It's only the old dried up crumbled, smushed into the ground dog poop they seem to love. When I have them outside and see them actually stopped and eating I know I better get over there and move em'. Yes I...

    How much pyramiding is normal

    Thanks, they don't yet, but I have just never seen one WITHOUT what I would consider pyramids, which I am assuming is the raising up of the shell in the little sections.

    How much pyramiding is normal

    I have only seen Sulcata's with pyramid shapes on their shells. I'm assuming some is normal? How do I know when my babies start to grow whats normal? I don't even know how your going to explain this in words, and if there is an old thread about it just point the way. Thanks Robin

    Is anything wrong with my babies?

    Thanks Tom, you've been a big help. I do find them all over the tank so I think Im good on the temp. I will tell you, one scared me half to death, I thought he was dead, his little head, and limbs were all out of his shell laying limp on the substrate like he just passed away. I was all prepared...

    Is anything wrong with my babies?

    So is most people ok with feeding tortoise food from pet stores (of course mixed with the other stuff)? Because one site said "NO, absolutely no tortoise food" not in those exact words but pretty darn close! Tom, I think I answered some of your questions, If I could get your 1-5 input. That...

    Is anything wrong with my babies?

    Thanks! I really do always go out with them and let them run around for 20-30 min. and put them back in their tank and feed them, they just don't eat the grass or weeds outside. That was just the first and only time they have been out by themself and without shade. What is this "Mazuri"? Is...
