Hello All,
New member here. We are fostering a large Sulcata in El Paso, TX. I think she weighs about 40 lbs. Looking for a lot of beginner's advice. The owner brought a dog house with heat lamp, we have been turning it on when the overnight temps get below 65. Also owner would feed lettuce, broccoli, and fruit occasionally. Not so sure this is a good diet. Have bought some grassland tortoise food pellets and tried moistening it but tortoise isn't interested. She does graze on our Bermuda grass, but it will be going dormant soon. Also, some of our winter days can be pretty cold, thinking I might need to design some type of pen in the garage? Any advice is appreciated, I'm looking for books at our local library and on Amazon.
