Thank you, he has been mostly inside and I don't know how much grass he has had, so this is good to know

Thank you! That's what i was thinking, but always nice to get confirmation

Hello everyone, My husband and I already have a sulcata and feel pretty comfortable with his care, but have recently been offered a leopard tortoise that has been getting passed around. Before we commit to taking him on, in a separate enclosure don't worry, we wanted to ask the community if...

Hey guys, came home today and Gordon had chipped off the center of his beak. He doesn't even seem to notice and has carried on as normal, but wanted to post here to see if I should take him to get it trimmed. He does have a terracotta saucer to eat off of and access to cuttlebone at all times.

I actually just got a thermometer gun and have started using that as well, the 85 listed above was for his ambient temperature though.

Will do! Is coco coir the best substrate or do you have another recommendation?

I did not think to ask which specific bacteria they tested for, so I cannot say for sure. As for other symptoms he has not had any except for the wheezing. Soaking has not impacted his breathing, though I have been making sure he is soaking regularly.

Yes, I injected all of the antibiotics. I will try adjusting his humidity, thank you.

I have looked down them and didn't see anything. He is outdoors and so he is mostly on grass, but there is hay on the floor in his heated house.

Hello all, I have an 8 year old rescue who is probably around 24 inches, this is his first winter with us. His house is kept at 85 degrees and he has the option to come out during the day though he is locked up at night. He soaks regularly. In November, I noticed he was wheezing, no discharge...

Hey y'all, I adopted a 8 year old Sulcata recently. He's about 30 pounds and he's been eating cuttlebone like crazy, one every two days or so if it's available. I've read that tortoises generally can self regulate on this, but I wanted to confirm that I don't have to worry about him eating too...

Hey y'all, I'm in the DFW area looking to add a Sulcata to our family. Ww would prefer an adult/one large enough to live outside full time. Please let me know if you have one looking for a loving home!

Do you ever have older leopards for sale, or only hatchlings? I'm looking for an age/size that could go directly outside in Texas.

The sound is more of a grunt and it’s frequency keeps changing. Soaking did seem to stop it temporarily and I will check her tail when I’m home.

she has been pooping, but it is possible that she ate something recently. The gel is not gritty and I will post photos once I get a chance.
