Yes, she poops and I have to make sure to clean it off of her because she seems to poop towards the left of what should be a tail. They are 3 months old so I think if there were any serious defects they would pop up before now? There was another in the clutch that isn't able to use its back...

We picked up 3 new baby sulcatas yesterday! Im very excited about raising them from hatchlings and having some "normal" shells in the yard! The woman we got them from saw how amazing Bowser is doing and brought along a surprise sully for us that she cant sell. This baby has a lot of split...

Hello, sorry this is so late... life got crazy for a minute! I actually found a place where I can keep keep in my own backyard, which is wonderful news as I was heartbroken over this. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE MESSAGES AND OFFERS!

Due to an unfortunate family circumstance I need to rehome my 20lb male sulcata. We rescued him 4 years ago from a terrible situation where he developed MBD and has since recovered nicely. He is a part of our family and we hate to see him go, so we would like him to go to an experienced home...

He has found a great home locally! THANK YOU FOR THE INTEREST, EVERYONE! :D

That would be absolutely wonderful! So he would travel with you between the 2 places? You can email me if that's easier for you, [email protected]

I regretfully need to re-home my Red Foot. He is 4 years old with no pyramiding at all and enjoys on outdoor lifestyle. He is being bullied and I am unable to keep him happy in his own enclosure. Approved home only, please email me at [email protected] or text me at 301-873-9419 for pictures...

YES!!! like a champ!!! We did water therapy with him and he used his homemade scooter for a few months but by Spring he was creeping around on his own! He even climbs up the back step and opens the backdoor for his nightly pumpkin ball treat (laced with medication of course, but shhh dont tell...

Thank you all for the info! I try not to worry about it... but that is just how I am haha. Its hard to see but at some point his back end collapsed and is just heavily covered in pyramiding. The best bet we have as a rep vet down here isn't exactly ideal... he still suggests i feed tomatoes...

Awww thanks!

Thank you! That gives me hope. He is loving life right now so we will just keep on truckin with the current plan!

I read in multiple places about tortoises with previous severe MBD (which Bowser most certainly has) only living 5-10 years after being rescued because their internal organs continue to grow but their shells do not allow the growth, therefore putting stress on the lungs and heart. Has anyone...

Sorry for the late response, i didn't get an email alert! Bowser was rescued from a shed with no UVB and only pellet food for 8 years. We rescued him him November. Its been a rough road for him, learning to walk again and battling respiratory illnesses. Luckily im a vet tech of 5 years so I was...

We might be interested if you are local to me and you accept my being a veterinary technician as an acceptable reference. I have 1 sulcata now who is a rescue and he has his own orchardgrass field and bedroom in my sunroom LOL.
