RE: Sulcata
Your not a dork. They do have very cute faces. I still cant get over the fact that they are no bigger than a quater when they hatch, then before you know it they are 100lbs. But they still have that cute face.
I can't wait to get some pics of my babies on here eather. They are sooooo cute and need to be showed off a little. lol..... I haven't gotten there new baby pics toghter yet. I did get the cutest video of them on my phone, they were fighting over a flower petal. I feel like such the big dork, but how can you not love those little faces looking at you!

RE: Sulcata
Well i have a moveble pen for mine,and they say at least an acre per sulcata when they get bigger,i have two acres here for mine,but there not that big yet!,can you move your pen around in another area of your yard,so your grass can recoop?.

I did have them in 2 large puppy pens that I would move around the property, but one of them found out how to topple it over and he went on a few little hikes! We found him every time, but the last time he went pretty far and we were afraid that we wouldn't find him. What type of moveable pen do you have?

RE: Sulcata
This is so great to talk with other Sulcata lovers. I have a guy who's approx. 3yrs old and his name is Big Mac! These guys are so cool! Such personality! As far as the pen recoperating, I agree, if you can just move it. We have a huge fenced in yard and Mac has free run of it but in the winter he's stuck in the house. Oh by the way, does anyone know of a rescue tortoise place in Michigan? I would really like to help another one of these guys .
I am in WI and looking to rehome my sulcata.....he is also a rescue

RE: Sulcata
My sulcatas would probbly do the same thing, but i actuly feed my tanks tortise food.It looks a lot like dog food the company that puts out the food is Mazuri its about $25.00 for a 25lb bag, last's about a month and the love it.So this might help her cravings for being a cat.

RE: Sulcata
Hi again! Thanks everyone for the info on the cat food. She won't (and hasn't) gotten anymore. But she circles the table it's on lol. I will probably get some of the tortoise pellets for her and give them to her once in a while. Maybe that will help. I gave bothe percy and the small totoise (Boxy) some prickly pear fruit and they went nuts over it. Anyone know of a rescue group for Sulcatas near or in Fresno, CA? would like to have another one.
Thanks Brat

RE: Sulcata
manebarnbrat, check out http://www.tortoise.org/cen-val/ for the central valley chapter of the CA Tortoise and Turtle Club. they meet right in fresno and probably come across lots of sulcatas that need new homes
