Hi everyone!
I live in littlerock CALIFORNIA and saved this little one from becoming my dogs new chew toy. He found her in my backyard and I'm not sure how old or what type she might be. After reading a few other identifying post I am fairly certain she is a young sulcata. But I would like to be sure because of the area I live in a few people I know said she was a desert tort. She was very shy and very frightened at first but now comes out and recognizes my voice when I call her. I have been taking her out on warm days to graze in my front yard, which is Grassy and has a few weeds for her to eat (To say she is a picky eater is to say the least) but as it's been getting colder she has been eating less she sleeps most of the day and I've noticed her eyes are a bit "puffy." Please help...I would like to be able to provide her with the best care I could possibly give. She is currently living in a storage box with organic top soil and a heat lamp. I plan on making a outdoor habitat for her as the weather get better. I appreciate any information or tips I can get please educate me!!
