Hello Newbie Here

[wrmitchell22]

Hello, I have a 3 month old Sulcata, Boulder, he is my first Sulcata. I had a russian tortoise a long time ago and she was wonderful! My husband and I are so excited to have him. I am excited to learn from more experienced owners as I have found a lot of conflicting information on line about the care and feeding. We live in the Southern Arizona, so it is a good spot for a tortoise

welcome!
i see in the pic he is housed on hay. If kept moist, like they need.. it will mold, and they dont really eat hay at this age.
get some spring mix salad, dandilions, weeds.. be sure he get reall sunshine.. and calcium..

Hello and welcome. We have a whole lot of sulcata lovers here. AZ is one of, if not THE, best place for sulcatas in the whole US. Here's how I like to keep them:
