Hi I’m not sure if this post is allowed so please forgive me if it isn’t or if I’ve posted in the wrong place. Due to ill health, I can no longer look after our Sulcata and need a new home for him/her. Please no judgments! Firstly, this was not our tortoise to begin with. We found him/her...

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to find UK Sulcata owners in the forum after rescuing a little Sulcata (see introductions post). As you know, weather in the UK can be very cold especially in winter so it would be good to hear from other Sulcata owners about indoor/outdoor housing, diet etc Looking...

Nice! So speedy is a fitting name ? This was the first time I weighed him/her, after a bath and before food on digital scales. Good to know I’m on the right track. Now I can record weight weekly. X

Thank you, that’s really kind of you to say. X
