    Sulcata eating pine needles

    I do the calcium spray twice a week, it's the first time I find the pine needles in his poop. Is the pine toxic for him?

    Sulcata eating pine needles

    Most of his diet is grass from the yard, I mix in a bit of romaine and mazuri. I also give him Timothy hay and clovers. I also spray his food with zilla calcium spray. I'm guessing that he is eating the pine needles while he waits for his food. Are the pine needles toxic?

    Sulcata eating pine needles

    I have a large 9 year old male sulcata eating pine needles. I have never seen him eat them but I've been seeing them in his poop. Is it safe for him to eat them?

    Extremely odd behavior from Sulcata

    My tort did this a few times, i realized his night box was too hot. Once i would lower the temp, he would stay inside. At the time i was using a infrared basking bulb. What heat source do you use? Sent from my SM-T580 using Tortoise Forum mobile app

    Nose whistles

    Hello, i recently had this same problem with my 8yr old sulcata. I learned that my heating house wasnt warm enough. I was advised to bring up the temperature. Once i brought up the temp it went way in a couple of days.

    Lump on tortoise neck

    He has no problem eating, it doesn't seem to bother him when i touch it. Im guessing its been there for about a month. I took him to the vet back in september and there was nothing on his neck then.

    large 8 yr old sulcata sick?

    The inside of his house is covered with refletive insulation and i have a 150 wat infared heat light. Im not sure of the exact temp inside, but its pretty warm. He also has a woden door so that the heat doest escape. I have use this same set up for years and it hasn't been a problem.

    large 8 yr old sulcata sick?

    I dont understand either. Ive had him for 7 yrs and ive never had a problem with him. That is why i am taking him with a more experienced vet for further testing. I hope that what ever it is we caught it early enough for him to make a full recovery. Thank you for your advice.
