We are designing a new home for Bodhisattva and would like to grow some dandelions over in one corner. We were wondering if a T5 light that is used for indoor growing is going to be ok for Bodhi's eyes.

Just wondering when we should start giving Bodhi hay in his diet...I have read that they will not eat it younger than one year and we just had Bodhi's birthday...I have put some in his greens but Im not sure if hes eating any yet

Hi Buddha! Welcome to the forums :)

I was going to ask what pet store you got him at too, I also live in San Diego but we got Bodhi at South Bay Tropical in Chula Vista, unfortunatly we got the wrong info like you did and poor Bodhi spent the first few months of his life with little to no humidity, thats to the people on this...

Thank you :)

Does anyone know a good Tortoise Doctor near San Diego? We want to take Bodhi in for a check up to make sure everything is going well for him :)

We have been feeding Bodhi alot of leafy greens like colard greens, kale, and endvine. He loves them and definatly clears his plate when we load up on those things, he seems to love the kale the best. Well that was untill we gave him some squash...the squash was kinda big so we cut it into...

I was reading in this post that you should not give broccoli to sulcatas. Should we not be giving Bohdi broccli? He seems to love it

Hes less than a year old and the log is hid hide, the half log thing you get at the pet store. He has had it in his room from day 1, just day before yesterday he dug a hole next to it and started nibbling on the side of the log

Bodhi seems to be eating the side of his wood log....is this normal? I seem to ask alot of questions like this lol

Bohdi seems to be eating his poo and the cocco coir substrate. Is this normal? Is this a sign that he needs something else in his diet?

came home today and he broke like 3 nails on one of his feet...is this normal? Is there something I need to be doing to prevent this? Is he ok? I dont see any blood...so I think thats a good sign....
