Thanks everyone, but I don't think you understand how much wood sorrel I have. The night shade could possibly be pulled, but the wood sorrel is down to the ground and mixed in to the grass. I just don't want to screw her up. Is there anything natural that I could use to kill the weeds, but that...
Hello! I currently have a 1 year old sulcata that goes outside for several hours a day in an enclosure. As she gets bigger, I want to give her the run of the fenced in yard, but I have a lot of night shade and wood sorrel that I read are not good for tortoises. I am willing to replant my whole...
I use a digital wireless device for humidity and it reads temp also. I have my heat lamps set on a thermostat at 81 degrees (ambient) and the probe for that is in the coolest area and no MVB bulbs
Ambient temp is 81 during the day and 79 at night. Basking bulb is just a flood lamp as you recommended in sulcata care sheet. Basking spot with temp gun is 95-98 degrees. Humidity ranges from 80-84%. I soak daily and use a mixture of coco choir and cypress mulch for substrate.
I can recheck the bill, but I don’t think it was listed. I will definitely ask again when I talk to him on Monday. Unfortunately it was just the edges that were green when I brought her home. It seems the green is taking over. I just pray I didn’t make the wrong choice in trying to save her and...

I am a nurse and a diabetic so I have given many, many shots in my life. I never dreamt I would be giving my tiny tortoise shots one day. I just pray it all works out. We are one week in and she is going strong. I pray it keeps up!
I took her to Dayton Williams and he did indeed seal her up. She came home today and went HAM on her grass and dandelion greens after a good soak. She will receive antibiotic injections daily for a total of 4 weeks. She’s moving and acting her normal self. I hope all remains well with her.
It was the vet tech who gave me bunk info on the sex of the tort. The vet himself wasn’t around when she said this or I would have asked his opinion and r
It was the vet tech who made the comment so I dont put too much stock in it. The vet was not around or I would have asked his opinion. He is...
