Ok- so my husband decided to bring home 2 baby Sulcattas(daughter talked him into it) in March of 2020… so they are about a year and a half. And I don’t think he did his research in the beginning on what to feed them and the owner of the shop told him to feed them improperly(leafy greens, Fruit etc) I finally took it upon myself about four months ago to really dig deep on how to care for these tortoises and it breaks my heart that I feel like we were doing it all wrong. So no I have them eating Timothy hay, with a calcium supplement… I turn their heat lamp off at night(so they can cool) and I only have the UV light on them for a few hours a day. I just started taking them outside recently but they are still really small. Plus I am so busy it’s hard for me to keep track(frankly I’m pissed that the kids just don’t care anymore for them and my husband is too busy to do proper research- so as a mom and an animal lover I have taken it upon myself to try to help them and save them)
it looks like their shells are pyramiding and the female is growing a lot slower than the male.
i’m attaching pictures of the enclosure and also of the tortoises for any advice or help! Thank you in advance!
