hi Tom,
I am new to this site, so my apologies if I’m not reaching out correctly. I couldn’t find a way to PM. We are currently looking for a sulcata baby for my son for Christmas. Yes, we understand the commitment that goes along with owning a sulcata which is why we made him wait 5 years. I stumbled upon your care information and I just want to say thank you.
I just purchased a baby red foot tortoise, he’s so cool even kids were holding him
I found a box turtle about a month ago that I think was hit by a mower, It's not too bad, but I thought I could start treating it. Any suggestions?

Hold on for the ride. My Stumpy is now almost 20lbs and 14" long and 10" wide at 1yr. 8.5months. Will probably be 25lbs at 2 years. Just posted a photo of him by the wood stove and those bricks are 6.5 inches. I have another little one that is growing slower... thankfully.
