Oberon the sulcata

Hi everyone,

We are new, we just got a hatchling sulcata and it is happily living in the Florida sun! It has an outside pen and an inside tub for now.
Look forward to talking tortoise!

Shawn and Dianne

p.s. Oberon is from Shakespeare's A Mid Summer night's dream-he was the king of the fairies. It is hard work naming new animals!

Tortoises are venomous right?

RE: Oberon the sulcata

What a cutie, Welcome to TFO.. Just an FYI, Sulcatas only eat weeds and grasses, and then greens from the grocery store. I would stop giving him the fruits asap, as it is really bad for them. A few caresheets for you.. http://www.africantortoise.com/ or http://web.archive.org/web/2007042017315...ation.org/ Since he is little you can also give him spring mix, endive, escrole, red leaf, green leaf, romaine, dandelion greens, etc. etc. Again welcome to TFO and you have a very cute littl guy/gal.

A fairy sulcata!! I LOVE it! Welcome Shawn and Dianne. And thank you for starting off our association with Oberon's picture. We love pictures! You are so lucky to live in Florida (well, except when hurricanes come). Welcome to the forum.
