Hello All:)

:tort: Hello everybody,

I recently took in two 3 week old sulcatas. Kaluah and Cream.
Ive had them for a week now, and am absolutely in love with them. But i am concerned as to if im taking care of them the way they should be cared for. Ive only ever had aquatics. I have Kaluah and Cream in a 20 gallon long, with a cyprus mulch (ive heard not to use this) so im not sure as to what i should switch it to. (HELP?) A hiding log, and their water and food bowl. I feed them some ZILLA Fortified Food for Land Turtle & Tortoise. I pour about thirty little pellets, if you will, into their food dish and add a dash of water so it is a little easier to consume. I was giving them a tiny sliver of nectarine every morning, but also red that wasnt too great for them either. I do take their water bowl out when i leave the house, as i am too afraid to leave it in and have one of my little babies fall in. Please, any help of tips at all would be very helpful to my little sulcata family and I.

Kind reguards,

Alissa,:tort: Kaluah & Cream:tort:

Hi and welcome! Very clever and cute names for them. :D I would suggest reading Tom's thread: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-How-To-Raise-Sulcata-Hatchlings-and-Babies#axzz1YzLcKdSi

for a starting point and then continue reading sulcata threads for more information... and of course ask any questions you may have. Personally, the biggest thing so far I would not like about your setup is the food your feeding. I would much rather see them on greens and weeds. :cool: Glad your here and they are sweet little ones from that nice video you made. :tort:

Hi Alissa:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

May we know where you are?

Your babies are very cute. Like Jacqui, I'd rather see the majority of the diet greens with maybe a bit of the soaked pellets on top of the greens.
