hello, i have been handed a baby (3weeks old) sulcata. I'm not new to tortoises,just new to hatchlings.... there care is much different. any ides would be greatly appreciated! diet is good so far, and temp is good, trying now to build a tort table.. for her to live in for the next year or so, till she is large enough to roam free, like the larger ones i have fostered inthe past.

Hi Annette,
Welcome to the forum :D
Just make sure you offer plenty of calcium to your new hatchling. Their care is basicly the same as adults, just that they are growing and need a lot of calcium for shell growth.
