Hi all, long story short, I came across this forum after rescuing a tiny hatchling sulcata from the grips of death (Im being dramatic, but they were in a bad situation and we knew enough to know they were in a bad dry situation). We named them Jellybean, and jumped down the tortoise forum...
So much to think about! I think we might try to go the route of loving one and then seeing about addition. I do like the idea of this little herd running around the garden. In the wild, do these particular ones hang out in groups? I know sulcatas have huge territories, but are stars different...
Meaning…can a hatchling be with a 1-2 year old? Can a 2 year old be with a 4 year old? Or will they just bully? Kind of like cats in that they are best to get together as babies?
Noted about pairs. To be clear then it’s best to own one tortoise or 3+? What happens if we decide after owning a star for awhile that we want want to add more star, at what minimum age can you put them together?
Thank you for your reply! I saw Tom’s link about his Burmese and he made it sound like they are more sociable with others of their kind and didn’t fight. So wanted to make sure they wouldn’t be lonely if by themselves.
Wait…I just saw Wellington’s reply, @Tom you raise Burmese? You do! I just opened the first link. Mind blown. I figured you were only a Sulcata guru. Do you currently have babies available or coming up?
