    Does my tortoise look healthy and am I doing everything ok?

    What breed of tort?

    Some times I look at pics of sulcatas and think oh, that looks like her. But then the same thing happens with desert tortoises.

    When do tortoises start burrowing?

    My delivery of cypress mulch came yesterday, which was great because it meant I could set up her new enclosure (it is much bigger now). Didn't think she (my tortoise) would care too much, but she actually burrowed underneath the substrate some time ago. It scared me because I couldn't see her...

    Succulent ID?

    So my parents had this one plant for quite some time.. I'm having a really hard time identifying it. I want to know if I can feed it to my tortoise. And sorry if tortoise forums aren't really the place to post a question like this, I saw someone else did so I hope it's ok.

    Safe for young tortoises?

    So I have a desert tortoise, who is at least less than two months old (got it from a neighbor..). My grandpa got me these dietary supplements for her, although I noticed that it says juvenile and small adult tortoises. Would it still be ok to give her it (according to directions)? Sorry if...
