I am assuming when you say the width of its stride, you are measuring how far apart the left and right foot are, when it is walking? I did not specifically measure, but from the video, at 11cm width (shell), i could estimate the left and right hand to be around 12.5cm apart, whereas the hind...
Im currently using one which has diameter of 32cm, runway width 13.2cm. What i like is the rotation recording device which tells me how many rotation it has completed per day, and can keep the daily rotation memory for 9 or 10 days.

Thanks for your sharing! I just found out my tortoise had the same issue as yours, it’s like cooked scallops on the foot pad. Did your tortoise recover from the condition

interestingly, i made a quick comparison of data with stump as i saw my tortoise start with a 125g data point, and the growth is so similar! This is such a good reference. Mine retains a lot of gut load so it’s probably sitting on the same graph line after a poop!
Last year, a sulcata wandered into my house, our gate was open. We visited neighbours along the street, filed a police and forestry report and put up lost pet notices in the local vets but no owner came forward to claim it. It was probably lost for awhile considering the condition of its shell...
Hi! Im not sure if this is normal, but there is some minor bruise-like wounds on my sulcata’s neck. It turn black-ish as you can see there are some blackish bruises on the neck. Anyone has got the same encounter for their tortoise? Thanks!
