Both tortoises are now gone. Thank you.

It’s really an emergency!

No shedding. No barking. No digging.

Here he is

Thanks to you all. I will be VERY careful.

Hi - my name is Becky Taylor and I have been a proud sulcata owner in Moorpark Ca for 5 years. I have 2 male 100 pound sulcata which are kept separate from each other. My husband is 71 years old and disabled. I am 62 and until recent my was very active and had 3 jobs. On November 6 I had 3...

I wish I knew who they are! The guy that found their tortoise posted on the forum. I left him a message but he never replied. My guess is that once he found the owners of his enormous find, he had no further reason to sign on to the forum. My two 100 pounders are doing great though, especially...

There has been a lot of construction going on and I think he took advantage of a gate that was left open...

Thanks Yvonne. You are very helpful. My tortoise boys will eat just about anything, so I don't trust them to be discerning. :-)

Hi everyone. We are in Southern California and are the proud caregivers of 2 male sulcatas - both 9 years of age and both around 100 pounds each. They are housed close to each other but separated. They always have fresh orchard grass hay available. Every day we supplement with a varying...

We adopted our 2 boys from a lady that could no longer care for them.. She did not know what she had and originally told us they were desert tortoises from Arizona. I knew she was mistaken when we saw them for the first time. I did my research and figured out that they were sulcatas. I...
