Just bought a new container of Mazuri tortoise diet and looks like rabbit food now. What happened to the dog food looking nuggets?

Are Knock Out Roses poisonous to my Sulcata? Thinking of putting some in our back yard.

Are tomato plants bad for a sulcata to eat?

Our local exotic rehabber brought this little guy to me this evening. I don't have much experience with Russians, so any help will do. Most likely this guy came from the local Petco or Petsmart. His shell has a nice crack and seems to be healing. He is very underweight and skinny. As of now I...

Well the entire spring and summer my sulcata never went back into his enclosure and preferred to sleep outside, even in the rain. I even tried putting him into it and he would just come back out and go under a bush in the yard. He wanted nothing to do with his house. Well this evening he went...

Is there anything I could put on my sulcata for Mosquitos? They are just horrible right now here in south Texas after it rained for almost two weeks straight. They are just swarming around him. He looks miserable. I might just have bring him in for a few days and spray the yard with Cutter...

Is there a mosquito yard spray or something that is safe to use around tortoises. The mosquito's are horrible right now.

I just caught Clifford my Sulcata eating a bird. He was plowing through the bushes and came out and I saw that he had something in his mouth, but I thought it was a flower. I heard crunching and went to see and saw that he was eating a red cardinal fledgling. Anybody ever heard of a tortoise...

Those of you with larger Sulcattas. Do any of you let your tortoise roam the entire back yard? I'm thinking of letting Clifford do this. The yard is pretty secured and he won't be able to squeeze under the fence or get out anywhere. He's never been a digger, so I'm not worried about him digging...

Are tortoises smart enough to avoid poisonous plants? I have tons on wedelia around the yard and am worried that if he escapes, he might eat it.

I did this last summer during an aweful Texas drought. All his grass died and I had a difficult time getting it to grow back. During a cold spell in January , while he was inside his home I tilled his enclosure and laid new sod. He didn't come out for at least a month so the sod had time to...

Can anyone tell me if these plants are poisonous. This is a type of ground cover. Spider plants. Type of bush.

Just a pic of Clifford enjoying his breakfast. Assorted greens, apple, cucumber, strawberries, carrots and Mazuri. And Axel looking jealous.

Well I posted some pics of Clifford and his house yesterday in Introductions. Here are some more. I took a rubbermaid shed, cut a door and filled the open gaps with foam in a can. I used carpet runner for the door and cut 4" slits. I used Reflectix insulation along the walls to keep the warmth...
