Picked up the small Sulcata from ukk9 this afternoon, it’s about 4 inches and weighs 354 grams. UKK9 Posted on TortoiseForum.org / Species Specific / Sulcata Central / Help looking for home for Sulcata.
He said, he didn’t know much about it other than it seemed to have a good appetite. It was in a 10 gal. tank with rabbit pellets and a Brussels sprout. The little squirt was quite dirty. But I must tell you all, I applaud Dave and his wife who rescued him, they did everything they thought was right for the little squirt. He even asked me if he did the right thing by putting him on rabbit pellets
I don’t think "Squirt" enjoyed the car ride. Pood everywhere.
I had to soak him, when I got him home, so I could clean him up. He didn’t know what to do. He looked terrified and would only walk backwards. So I dried him off and put him in the kiddy pool with a nice warm light, Critter country substrate, some water and some escarole which he did eat some of. But now I will leave him alone and let him rest, he has had such a stressful day. In a few days I will check him over really well and I will post pics then. Right now we both need rest. Oh, and I don't know if he is really a he yet.
