I don't know what they overall temps were in the garage, or what it got down to in the open part but it went down to 28 outside when it froze over, it was cold for a couple nights then climbed back into the 60's. They were all in the garage at night in the area sectioned off for them. They had a...

They have never fought ,ever. I put cardboard down then thick moving blankets on top of it cover with some hay. All I can think of is we had a freeze and then the temps came back up in the 70s. I should have realized they needed more heat sources besides the lamps.

Heartbroken We just moved in June from Phoenix AZ To Oshkosh Wisconsin. I have 4 large Sulcata tortoises from 50lbs to 100lbs. They transitioned great and have been great. Once the weather changed we enclosed a section of the garage and added blankets, hay and heat lights plus they had the...

Does anyone have an adult female redfoot tortoise they need to rehome. I'm in Phoenix Arizona.

Thanks Tom, yes I a lot of people don't know anything about torts (especially that they need water!), I wanted an easy way to explain their care to eole who have never owned a tortoise before. I always tell them about this website ,it has helped me a lot!

I had some Sulcata babies that hatched naturally from one of the nest. So far there's 17 , they are slowly leaving the burrow. I'm looking for an easy simplified care sheet to give to new owners when the babies are ready.

No swelling at all, he has full run of the yard. We have other sucatas but they don't mess him him since he's the biggest.Theres nothing in the yard I can think of. No bees/wasps no scorpions. He does like to hump everything in sight even rocks lol so that's the only thing I can think of him...

I have a 10 year old male sulcata tortoise, he's 22inches long about 100 pounds. Just recently he started dragging his left hind leg. He is still eating/drinking as he normally would. Diet is backyard grass/weeds and dark leafy greens. I spray him with water and soak the yard daily, he has a...

So far all the babies are doing amazing, I'm gonna call some vets in the area and see what they recommend. Yes their story is crazy and hope it has a happy ending for all .

I've had them for a week now, I'm not sure how old they are ,their shells still feel a little soft.

Okay so the back story is grim. A friend of ours his neighbor was killed in her home July 19th of this yearshe bred Sulcata tortoises, the police took the 2 big ones but I guess she had a clutch that hatched. (all family lives out of state in Texas and did not want the torts) There were babies...

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think he basically guessed the sexes I have no clue lol. They are hardy eaters had them in the sun grazing for a couple of hours yesterday. Their enclosure will be 16x16 and were gonna attempt a cement wading spot.

Thank you, yeah I knew right away something was wrong. He is a tuff lil guy would hardly stay still for a pic! Would filing the beak down with a emery board work or should I just take it to the vet and have them do it?

Here is the last of our new additions This one seems too small,shell doesn't look that great. Looks like it's beak is overgrown but not sure I've never had a Russian but always wanted one. Husband's friend housed it with 2 large sulcatas and 1 redfoot, the temps were kept high and housed on...

Husband's friend gave us all his tortoises He housed the RF with 2 large Sulcatas and 1 Russian. Kept the temps high low humidity and never soaked any of them.Never outside and only greens. I have a covered tort table I'm gonna house it in til it gets bigger. I've been reading a bunch of...

My husband's friend gave us his 4 tortoises Here are the 2 Sulcata: They were on hay since they were hatchlings,he used coil lights, only fed store greens since had no backyard,no natural light,pyramiding present. I can't fix whats already been done but hopefully can get them back on the...

They are probably gnats, I have them in mine after putting in some plants in the enclosure. While they are gross to look at they are harmless,I've have tried numerous home remedies but none have worked so I just leave them alone ,my torts don't seem to care lol.

Yeah it's very pricy, right now just using a plant saucer but I wanted something a little bigger and deeper so they both could go in and out of.

I was wondering if anyone has used the tortoise reptile tub for any of their turtles/torts? Thinking about getting it for my 2 box turtle hatchlings. Here's their link comes in bigger sizes too. Any thoughts or suggestions of what else I can use that won't be as pricy...

They are almost 9 weeks old!
