Very cool! I'll have to try that. He has 2 watering dishes but he doesn't pay them much attention. And he's definitely a man. And he likes for it to be known... :-/
Haha! It might be more shaded over there. But the crazy thing is that he'll dig all day but as soon as it gets dark he goes into his box for the rest of the night. I think he's just trying to be a punk! Or maybe he's hot during the day?
My 8 year old Sulcata started digging yesterday. Now he has a full blown burrow under the wall of his enclosure. Should I be worried? Is this normal? I'm open to any suggestions or words of comfort. I thought I lucked out and got a tortoise that didn't dig! Jokes on me!
It's been a few years since I've been on here but thought I'd come back and say hi! I have an 8 year old Sulcata named Cedar. After years & years of being an inside tortie he finally has an outside home! Him and I are both loving it! We're located in North Florida.

Ok thanks for the reply! I pick up his poop almost daily and I've never noticed anything.
I think the guy suggested it when I told him the size of my tort (he's small in my opinion but then again he's been raised mainly indoors).
I went to repticon a couple weeks ago and while I was there I was talking to one of the guys running an exhibit about my tort and he said I should get him dewormed.
What's the story with deworming. I don't know much about it.
I have a salcata that was hatched in Oct 09. I bought him from a pet...
I'm finally done w cedars enclosure and he's all moved in!
Some of you might remember a previous post I wrote where I was stressing about what to do w my tortoise. I was moving to a smaller place with no true outdoor space for him.
Well this is what I came up with. It solved both my tortoise...
Hi guys!

I've been calling cedar a him for the past 4 years. Hopefully he is old enough for you guys to tell.
Make a tort...
