Welcome to the forum, TortoiseGuy1! Your sulcata is adorable. What is his name?

When you have a chance, I'd recommend browsing through the sulcata section of this forum. The first five threads in that forum are stickied and contain great information on hatchling set-up, diet, and overall care of sulcata tortoises. The sulcata section can be found by clicking this link: Sulcata Section of Forum

Hello TortoiseGuy1, I'm from the Philippines also. I have a Sulcata tortoise myself who is turning 3 now. I just would like to know where you got your nice tortoise from. Did you get it from the Ark Avilon center? Or any other breeder?

RE: Newbie here from philippines.

Hello and welcome.

I hope the fruit is not a regular part of his diet.

Hello and thank you for the welcome. The orange thing on the picture is a carrot. I just give him a little once a week. Is that okay? I give grasses as his main diet.
