Welcome !!! I have a sulcata thats a little over a year now named Hagrid .. very very awesome addition to the family i'd say .. welcome!

yes introduce much more "Better for him" foods like grasses, and other high fiber mixed in with little by little of the stuff he is used to ... we had to do this for Hagrid as we was eating "Tortoise bites" when we first had him he would eat nothing else .. Now he is a mainly grass eater once in...

lol too funny roachman !!!!

well like i said . was nto trying to make them look bad just pointing out what i recently discovered and did not know were else to post it....

im in nor cal as well but like everyone else dont have the money ... he should give for free lool for how badly he has been treated

UPDATE ON HAGRID!! well we went to the vet to day and his parasite is gone and very very minor pinworms ... the swelling is down a bit ... the vet said that he is a little "overweight" lol so i guess we have been feeding him too much ... so hagrid is very well

well at least he posted a link on care and lets everyone know he has not been taking care of him/her thats very rare on CL .... poor little thing hope someone takes good care of that little tortoise

how sad ... no were to dig, or have a natural life and look at that shell seriously did nto get enough water as a baby or possibly UVB hope they get in trouble if their the original owners Ill join the letter writing as well just need the info

I found these little turtles at the mall I work at, they were in a very small container with no food and very little water. It was about 50-55 degrees outside, Pixie has 3 missing toes :( both turtles shells were very soft and they were very lethargic. I currently have them in a 10 gallon...
