Hello guys! I haven't Been on in a while, but mordy is doing great! I bought him with a respiratory infection but he recovered and hasn't been sick since. He's with us about a yr now. He's a little small I think for his 1.5 yrs. measures about 6 inches, but is his shell growth ok? Thank you!

Just showing how much my little guy has grown! He was 100 grms last month but he's surely passed that by now! Hope everyone is well!

I weighed Mordy last month and he was 60 grams and today he's 99 grams.i'm not sure if that's normal v should he be more? He's 7 months old,i believe. Thanks!

im quite happy with his growth spurt, hes been eating like a machine. this is the same tortoise who had a really bad URI so were all glad hes doing much better :D this was mordy a month ago, and yesterday.

ive been struggling to get suitable food for mordy and i read about sulcatafood.com and they have what seems like a good seed mix: http://sulcatafood.com/Store.html im wondering though if it would be good for a 6 month old sulcata. if anyone has any other recommendations please tell me. im...

i knowthat nobody can give me a definite answer but im looking for some insight. ive had mordy for 2 months now, the owner said he was 4 months, which makes him 6 months though i doubt it cuz hes really little , about 3.5 inches. he had a bad experience with a vet which caused him to get a...

ive been struggling with what to feed my little guy. i live in miami and havent been able to find all the weeds and grasses everyone here seems to feed their torts. once in a while i can get my neighbor to give me a bit of hibiscus but since i almost never see him, thats not what i can count on...

Mordy is back up to health :) yesterday he woke up, i removed his heat mat and placed him by the food and he took a big helping of his zoomed food. i left him eating and when i got back from work, i gave him some spinach, bok choy, and romaine lettuce. he ate a large portion of each thing. i...

i just got back from the vet. i noticed a decline in mordys appetite, he used to eat more of his greens and lately he eats half, so i went to the vet clinic in Tamarac where i met a great vet, Dr. Grant. she wasnt there so Dr. Gardner assisted me. i told her what was going on, she did not seem...

ive attached pictures. hes a 3 yr old male, 8 inches. does that sound right and does he look healthy? [hr] he only has 4 central scutes.

Im wondering if experienced sulcata owners can tell me how does mordy look? hes 5 months old and just recently recovered from a URI. i am taking him for a check up. is there anyone in miami that can recommend a good vet? [hr] also, does anyone know how to clean their necks? hes got a chunk of...

Mordy was diagnosed with a URI April 20th. the vet gave me tazicef for every third day. today is his 8th shot of the injection, and i will be using the last syringe today. for those of you who have had a tort with a uri, how many shots did you give? mordy is doing much better,if not completely...

i originally thought mordy was 5 months old this month (his owner told me he was 4 months old). he is about 3.5 inches long and eats heartily but the vet weighed him at 48 grams 3 weeks ago. im confused now, could mordy be even younger than 5 months? im beginning to think so reading some posts...

my 4 month hatchling is receiving antibiotics for his uri and friday is his last shot. ive read that URI's are never cured tho, and stress causes flare ups. i dont pick him up a lot, just to check his nose and soak him and sometimes when i see that he hasnt eaten. id like to know what not to do...

Hes about 5 months. he still eats alot - spring mix, zoomed grassland tortoise food, hibiscus.. - but he doesnt walk as much as i remember. ive noticed the decline a bit after i put up pictures around his enclosure since i heard it can stress them out. do you think i should take them off, maybe...

please tell me where i need to improve. the substrate is cypress mulch. i throw water in the morning and sometimes evening, the bottom is wet though. i just put the hide in last night, a plastic container. however, it was cold in the morning...can someone please tell me how to fix this? temp...

This is his 5th injection of tazicef for his uri. my boyfriend held his little arm and i injected his arm and he obviously ducked his head and made a noise. the vet says it stings - thats normal. but then 5 seconds later liquid came out of his end! not a little - it was a lot, like maybe 3...

hello :) my little guy is 4 months old, and im new to having a tortoise but doing the best i can. can people post pics of their enclosures if they can? i have mine set up with the right side being the basking area and the left the cooler/darker area with the humid hide in the cooler area. i have...

last week i bought a baby sulcata tortoise. when i pick herup, she makes clicking noises and sometimes sticks her neck out. i was reading about psychological stress about tortoises and they shouldnt be handled too much. i didnt know that until now, is that the problem or is it an upper...
