I had a half log for Dexter and he 🥰 it but Dexter is 4 1/2 yrs old now and is a Sulcata. Now 37 pounds! But before he got that big he was in a 55 gal aquarium inside. He threw a tantrum when I removed it and would try to shove himself inside. I even built up the sides to make it 4 inches taller...
You cannot raise 2 torts together. The large one bullies the smaller one and takes the food. Please read Sulcata care sheets. You are lucky he is still alive.
Congratulations to your positive attitude! Many people have come here for help and then become defensive when told what needs to be done to help their tort to lead a healthy life.
I’m very inspired by your willingness to adjust to the positive suggestions given to you.
Welcome to the Forum!
I’m so sorry you have been given bad information. Your torts look in need of immediate help. MBD is painful and fatal. These are not healthy torts. At 2 yrs old they should be at least 20 pounds each with full rounded shells. Listen to Tom and Yvonne they have been doing this for a long...
How deep is it? Is the bottom just dirt? What’s growing in it? I want to build one for Dexter this summer, he is 35 pounds and we are in South Carolina. Hot summers!!
It looks like a great pond, I’d really like to pick your brain for details.
Thanks Maggie
