    Is my tortoise bored, need enrichment?

    I totally give him bananas & dates. Thanks! Only thought they couldn't eat the core, but the rest of the apple was ok. There are a ton of conflicting Sulcata "facts" that have been swayed by over the past 24 years. I just emailed Dr. Spelman, Mordy's doc. to ask her about the apples. She has...

    Thanks so much for your reply. Bowling Balls! Wow! Mordy just likes dozing into my partners projects. Knocking over ladders, sawhorses, tables, etc. He's always gotta be a part of!

    My 90 lb Sulcata Mordy has a lovely house with temp control, huge electric pig blanket, sun lamps, and a De’Longhi wall heater, so he’s physically perfect. We also have a Mordy cam and temp control from the house so we can see him at all times. I love him dearly since birth. He is now 24 yrs...

    Sulcata won't drink water

    Thanks for your reply. He doesn't fit in a bathtub...too wide. He's also too heavy. I can't lift him. Maybe I can try the hose instead!
