this is Ollie and he’s usually the hungriest little guy in the world. He eats a lot and his favorite food is kale but I’ve noticed he’s been sleeping almost all the time lately and now I can’t get him to eat. I’m so worried and I don’t know what to do.

I have cats in the home that don’t bother him but I would never have an open enclosure with them around, the table was going to be made to be completely closed.

Right now I only have him in a 20 gallon tank which I know is way too small but it’s the best I can do for now. My dad and grandpa are planning to build me a tortoise table for him but I don’t know how soon. My family has never had much money but Ollie (my tort) was a gift so I didn’t have time...

I’m so in love with my sulcata I don’t even have words and I’ve spent a lot of my time researching his species along with others, but he is my first tort so I worry about him every day. He’s 8 months and I know how difficult it can be to take care of a baby tort so I just want to make sure he’s...

Thanks so much

Thanks for the help, know the species?

A friend of mine from school recently got back from Panema city beach and brought a turtle home with her. The pet store she got it from gave her little to no information and now she’s realized she isn’t able to care for the turtle at this time. It’s killing me to not be able to take the turtle...

I’m 17 and living at home so whatever I build is only meant to be for the next couple of years until I move out and get something more permanent

I know this is kinda a rough sketch but my Sulcata is 54 grams and 5 months old and I’m building him a table. These are my sketches for it and wanted to see if you guys thought it was okay? Would 2 x4 feet be too small?

Thanks for the help and I’ll keep the forum posted with new pics of the enclosure as I get it!

I’m 17 and live at home still so whatever enclosure I make for him will only be for the next few years until I get my own place where I plan to build something permanent. I was thinking Rubbermaid’s or something but I have cats and don’t want an open top. I’m sure I’ll come up with something tho.

He’s currently in a 20 gal tank with zoomed reptibark bedding. He has a water dish and food bowl and a log for him to hide in. He also has a heat lamp and uvb bulb but I need to make some adjustments to the top of tank (the metal is blocking the uv) until I can get a better enclosure for him...

Actually Ollie was 5-6 weeks and Is now about 5 months

So that would make him like 5 months now. I was so frustrated when I got him because I didn’t get much info with him. Wether the person who gifted him to me didn’t get any information or didn’t relay it I’m not sure. Either way thank you for your help!

Egg tooth?

Omg that is horrible! I understand the danger in that sense but i’d never leave them alone together, always with supervision. They usually only see each other when I take Ollie out of his enclosure and let him roam around a little, but I only let him do that under supervision so

My sully has been around my cats and dogs as well. What’s the harm if they don’t mind each other?

He looks just like my baby Ollie! When I got Ollie they told us he was 5-6 months so he’d be around 9 or 10 now and he only weighs 54 grams.

I don’t know how much he weighed when I got him, he was a gift just from a local pet store. I had seen him there often and as a big lover of any kind of turtle/tort I fell in love and shortly after someone bought him for me as a gift. I used to soak him a lot but now he does it on his own quite...
