Hey all,
I have purchased two baby sulcata torties for my 12 yr old son and I don't know if we am giving them enough TLC. They go out in the early a.m. and late afternoon when the sun is going down to graze. We are located in Phx. so this is the only time they wouldn't get fried. They seem unhappy in their terrarium (20 gal) and appear to want to get out a lot. Should we be letting them out more? Should we be giving them more to eat other than grass from our yard? I have access to prickly pear, is there a certain method for feeding them cactus? Do they like the flower or the cactus itself? Sorry to bombard with questions, guess they have been building up. Thank you for any advise you can give.
