Ok, well nevermind getting all that stuff right now. I lost my tortoise outside, had him in this wire enclosure, went inside for a couple of minutes, and he was gone. Felt stupid cause I'm 27 years old calling the police to report a missing tortoise, but I think the neighbors kids came over...
good info! Also I wanna throw in this little tidbit, we are out in the sticks and right at the edge of this tiny tiny town. I have fields right across the street and they do spray over there. Is the dirt safe this far over? is it safe for him to still eat the grass and stuff from out there...

hey guys, I just started here at this forum and I just got an African Sulcata Tortoise about 3 months ago. If you guys end up having a meet-up in the midwest lemme know, I would totally be in for it long as it wasn't real far away. I live in the southern chicago suburbs, I might even be able...
