Hey everyone, so it pains me and my mother/step father, but we need to rehome our Sulcata. They are moving to Europe in about a year or two and I live in another state and simple can't afford him nor have the space for him. He just turned 10, weighs about 40-50lbs . He's SUPER spoiled, he gets...
Hi everyone, so I have a 5 year old sulcata thats been staying with my mom right now in southern california for the past year or so. Shes about 15 pounds now. Shes wondering if our tortoise is sick or if its normal what shes doing? Also, she seems to have developed some stuff on her shell. I...
I will take pics in the morning. But its a pretty easy decision, I'm going to put her in the spare room with as big of an area as I can. I figure some sort of setup from here would work great, and I can't believe I didn't think of it before considering I fostered a guinea pig for like 6...
Hi, so I currently have my sulcata in a kiddie pool in my kitchen by a big window. Only thing is its covered by those white plastic egg crates due to my cats wanting to **** in the substrate. The good thing is my sulcata gets pretty much a full days worth of natural direct sunlight where she...
thats what i figured. i don't have the cleanest floor because of my cats and i dont want her eating something random. temp is not really a concern as its mid 70's in my house due to no AC and like i said, it would only be for an hour or so if i did do it, but im just going to hold off and...
Hi, so my sulcata is in a 4x3 pen in my kitchen and she is constantly trying to get out to wander around my house. shes not that big, about the size of a softball or bigger and shes roamed around before for a little while I had my computer in the living room, but now im in the basement and I...
even if its for just half the enclosure?
if i make just an entrance/exit to the enclosure with like a cage top or something like that, can i put the scat mat in front of the entrance? will it affect the tortoise at all? like would he be able to walk on it no problem?
its not about where hes at now, its about what i want to do for him in the future. hes fine now because hes in his own room but i feel bad having im isolated so im looking for options.
would some thick carpet work? also, would just a humid hide be enough humidity? not a little one, im...
would i be able to keep him/her on wood/some other hard surface for the majority of the enclosure then have a large humid hide? or would that not be enough humidity?
Hey everyone, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a substrate for a 2-3 year old sulcata that my cats wont try to dig and possibly pee in? right now hes on coconut coir but he's in his own room so the cants wont get to the substrate, they dont bother him at all but the few...
So cover tank more and get bigger hide box. will do that tonight.
thanks everyone!
oh, and yeah there is a good layer of eco earth under the mulch. i plan on getting him a 75 gallon tank when i move into my new place in march and having my friend build me a couple big enclosures during the...
here are the pics. for my humid hide i have that half log buried with sphagnum moss in it to hold moisture and i soak it real well every morning and the CHE is right above it because he sleeps in there as well.
I'll get pics of everything when i get home tonight, thanks for the replies.
but basically just more humidity is what i'm getting? i know for a fact its not nearly 80-90, my guess would be 40-50, i don't think my humid hide even gets that high for longer then a couple hours.
Hey guys, I have a feeling my baby sulcata tortoise is starting to pyramid and I have no idea why. he's currently in a 40 gallon because hes only 4-5 months old. I give him baths as often as possible and wet down his shell every day. I feed him spring mix and that tortoise food that comes in...
