    Hi, can you tell me the composition of pellets that are good for sulcata😅??, and what are the characteristics of a sulcata affected by bladder stones? And do sulcatas have to excrete urate every day? Because my tortoise releases urates only 1-2x a week. Sometimes within a week it doesn't produce urates at all.

    Any of the pellet foods are okay for Sulcatas as long as they don't have fruit in them and are not a part of their daily diet. Two to three times a week is all the pellets should be fed. If you have an adult, orchard grass hay can be added daily. You can also add soaked hay pellets to young and adults

    No fruit.

    Hi, I want to ask, is it safe to give Rept shine (shell moisturizer) to the torto shell so it doesn't dry out? Because the humidity in my cage is only 40-53 and I can't increase the humidity in my cage to 80 or above. And I don't want my sulcata pyramiding because the shell is too dry. Please answer

    It's easier than posting here I think. Click on forum. Find the category you need. Click on post thread. Then fill in title area, scroll down to be blank box and type your questions or whatever and then scroll further down and click post thread.
    I only use my phone too.
    You will get more help faster than I can always do. But I don't mind questions either.

    What are your thoughts on my RES tank? It is 40 Gallons, however she was stunted and was not given the necessary care when she was young so she is about the size of a 3yr old juvenile.RES Tank

    Hello, I’m looking for a Russian tortoise Baby to add to our family. This will be our first family tortoise. My son is asking for one so I would like to purchase one as soon as possible. Do you have any available?

    Sorry, I do not. Most breeders of Russians hibernate their torts. Most likely they won't be up until March. Then laying probably around April/May and hatchling June/July.
    Winter is a hard time to try and get a hatchling of most species.
    Keep an eye out on our "for sale" section and also look on faunaclassifieds.com.
    Good luck

    Hello!! I created a new post about my VERY sick baby sully. You and Tom were so helpful on my last posts...I thought maybe you could take a look at this one and see what you think. I am so worried and I don't know what else to do. Any thoughts or suggestions are very much appreciated!!

    Do you do anything special to keep leopards. I am from St. Louis and looking at getting a leopard? Anything you can tell me helps.

    I have several, so I have a heated shed that they live in for winter. During the summer it's used for night time only. Leopards don't dig, so other then heat and uvb during colder months and a fenced area, there's nothing special that needs to be done.
    For a hatchling upto around 2-3 years old, house it in a closed chamber.

    could I see your shed for your sulcata tortoise. I need a little inspiration for mine.

    I don't have a sulcata, but I do have leopards which is the same care, they are just smaller. However, I have 4 that lives in the shed and a almost 2 year old that I am raising from hatching it in a 4x4 green house in my basement until next summer. I will try to find a picture.
