    some progress on saturn

    So my baby tortoise, is growing but slowly, which is normal for a tortoise, i think.. Hes gets soaked once a day for 30 minutes in luke warm water. He hates it. He eats like CRAZY! We feed him lots of dandelions, prickly pear cactus, and even the fruit sometimes, when we forget to soak him (...

    Forgot (Tortoise left without food and water)

    I went away for a while and was paying my neighbor to watch my animals while I was gone. I have a lot of animals but she forgot to feed and give my tortoise water. I was gone for atleast 1 week and he didnt eat or drink. Im really worried. He doesn't seem like hes acting unusual. But I still worry.

    New sulcata

    It makes perfect sense. They just don't work together. Its not good for them because bullying happens. Don't risk it. Trust me.. I did and one of them got sick. And I had to rehome it.

    Baby Sulcatas not eating much

    try giving it something else. I noticed that my baby (who LOVED hibiscus leaves, like, HE WOULDN'T EAT ANYTHING ELSE. LIKE SHOOT! MY PROFILE PICTURE IS A PIC OF HIM EATING HIBISCUS LEAVES :D:rolleyes:) slowly got sick of it. Like when you eat unhealthy, then suddenly want to eat healthy again...
