I have been around for along time. I've had sulcatas for a few years off and on. But one thing that I just noticed is how big mine had gotten. I've only had my current baby, Baggins for 14 months (15-16 months old). It wasn't until today that I have owned 2 at one time the newest being Took. The newest one I was told was born at the end of last summer. But I have been worried that Baggins wasn't growing. The I seen just how much bigger Baggins was then Took. Any who,

If you just got the new one, you should keep them separate for at least three months too be sure the new one isn't sick or carrying something that could make your other one sick. Also, keep a very close eye on them if you are housing them together. Tortoises are loners and do not really want or need company. Most likely the older one will bully the new one that is invading his home, also, be sure to provide each a humid hide and lots of space. Your older one is pyramided some and adding some humidity will help them both grow smoother new growth.

Ohhhh......They will grow, they will grow for sure. One day you will worry this two become so big and eating too much and pooping everywhere like very large dog. You will see if you kept them long enough. You will see.
Do not worry they are not growing.

What?! Haha that's awesome. Are you planning on Gandalf being another sulcata? You could always try to find the lightest colored leopard and he could be Gandalf the White [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

No Gandoff will be an aldrabra. Outside pen will be up this coming summer. I did think about getting an ivory and going with Gandoff the white. Then I thought about getting the other sulcata that isn't an African but cannot find one for sale.

Hi Bill, and welcome to the Forum!
My gut instinct is telling me that Baggins isn't being kept warm enough. Have you read the "Important Threads" at the top of the sulcata section? Keeping them warm and moist really encourages growth.
How about showing us where the tortoises live and what you feed them. We may have some helpful hints for you.

Well what I hoped would happen did. The new tort taught the old one how to eat. Sounds crazy but the oldest tort never under stood that the pellets were food. New one came in and started eating them right away. A few days later and the older one is eating without a problem. I'm still thinking the new tort who is a year younger will out grow the other. That is the next thing Imma watching for.

Like to know what happen to your other sulcatas?
Don't sulcatas live for a long time?
