I keep trying to do exactly that. Knobby is only 40 lbs, but it seems here most tortoises weigh in the gram range, with new keepers. Frankly, I am experienced (somewhat) at keeping Sulcata, and I am here to say, when those teeny 60 gram babies get bigger they will no doubt challenge you, and you need to expect some experiences. I have been trying to get keepers with bigger Sulcata to post some experiences they've had growing up tortoiseWe need to point all the new sulcata baby owners to posts like this, let them see what that cute little baby can do.
Thank ypu...Personally, he's a giant pain in my ***, and I really want to, and I was supposed to, find him a forever home that ain't me. He is goofy, funny and I am very afraid what he's gonna be like at 100 lbs...125 lbs and up and up. The last time we weighed Bob before he died he was 125 lbs, friendly, quiet entertaining and ,in my memory, was easy to keep, I feel I have to hire a tortoise sitter for Knobby when I'm gone for any length of time,, because I am afraid he could hurt himself. Neighbor kids play with him when i'm gone. He seriously is a kick.Thats why I didn't pick a sulcata like my son wanted lol. I knew one day it would be a giant, destructive bulldozer and I already have a giant destructive thing in my house. Its called a kid. ?
Gosh is Knobby cute though!
I can't stand it!!! Should he stay, or should he go???Still so darn cute. ?
Oh great, there's a song stuck in my head...I can't stand it!!! Should he stay, or should he go???
