Since I’ve joined you have been the most helpful person with you experience. I’ve read in previous posts you...

    Introduction

    I’m really just using this forum as research to make the transition go as smooth as possible. I’m on day 5 of the introduction and each day has been better than the last (if anyone even cares). It’s a sad day when this forum has just become another trolling site. Have a nice day and stop...

    Introduction

    Holy cow. This forum has gone down hill. I am asking for advice from people who have dealt with similar situations. People with experience. I don’t need teenagers telling me what the relationship between my tortoises I raised from hatchlings was like based on a paragraph. If you don’t have...

    Introduction

    I know what following aggression looks like. These two were raised from hatchlings together for 7 years. They weren’t aggressive. When I say they followed each other what I mean is they got out of their holes at the same time, ate together, roamed the yard together. Never fought. My ten year...

    Introduction

    I get it. It’s just that our ten year old grew up with another tortoise who passed away. He got along well with the other and they would follow each other around the yard. I’m really hoping we can make it work.

    Introduction

    Any tips for introducing a new tortoise to my 10 year old? My plan is to monitor them heavily and separate them when I’m not home.

    Fostering a new tortoise

    So, a neighbor found an adult sulcata. They have dogs and a pool so they cannot keep it. I volunteered to foster it. We have a “teenage” sulcata, about 35 pounds. Rather foster tort is probably 80 pounds. They charge at each other in a full sprint at every opportunity. I pick the little one up...

    Hatchling food

    When is it time to switch our hatchling off of his pellets and on to Timothy hay?

    Wobbly walking

    So, we got the blood work results back and apparently he had a mild scorpion sting. All better now though. Thanks again for all the input!

    Wobbly walking

    Here is a link to the video. He is moving better today. My theory is he was eating topsoil from newly seeded grass and not getting enough nourishment so I have him on the side yard eating hay, dandelion and a little bit of strawberry.

    Wobbly walking

    Yes. He is sleeping in his hole right now but I will video tomorrow. Thanks

    Wobbly walking

    My teenage/adult sulcata is wobbling when he walks. I live in Phoenix and we are transitioning to winter so there are some changes right now in diet and environment. In a previous post I noted he is eating chunks of top soil from the winter grass. I’ve penned him up so now his primary diet is...

    Winter grass

    I am in Phoenix Arizona. I don’t know how to put that in my profile. There was light amount of fertilizer used in the top soil but not much. Nothing else was mixed in.
