    Has anyone ever had their hatchling sulcatas sexed with a blood test? If so, how much did it cost? Thanks.

    Do their shells look ok?

    I'm not sure how old they are. They just lost the black spot under their shell where I assume their umbilical cord was. I spray their shells twice a day and soak them once a day for 20-30 minutes. Right now they're eating spring mix mixed with boc choi leaves, collard green leaves and kale...

    Inoculated clover seeds?

    I final found a place in the US that sells clover seeds. Many of them have an option for "raw" seeds or "inoculated" seeds. But some of them only have the inoculated option. It says its just to Leo hold and draw in moisture to the seeds. Would these be safe to plant and feed to my sulcatas? Thanks.

    How to increase humidity?

    Where to find edible weed seeds?

    I'm looking for a site where Ivan order seeds of common weeds like dandelion, chickweed, thistle, clover and what not. I found an awesome website with tons of options, but they don't ship to the US. Any help would be really appreciated.

    My two new sulcatas :)

    These are my first sulcatas. Supposed to be a male and female. I did tons of research months before I got them. They are so cute. I'm already looking at plans to build a large shed for when they get big. First pic is the female, second is the male. Name suggestions? Was thinking fern or willow...

    Ok to feed to sullys?

    I know Timothy hay and hibiscus are both ok for sulcatas, but since this is made for rabbits and such just wanted to double check before trying it. It says those are the only two ingredients. Thanks.

    Heat/bulbs

    I'm new to the forum. I'm getting two hatchling sulcata tortoises in about two weeks. I've been reading up on them for awhile now but keep finding varying answers to what the best temps are and what kind of bulbs to use. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
