I have ordered Mazuri Tortoise LS Diet Pellets for years for our Sully Alice. I got 25 pound bags. The last time I ordered it the pellets came the size of rabbit pellets. They do not have our old size anymore.. It was 1/2 X 3/4 size pellet. Where can I get my old product???
I was wondering why people say Aloe is not toxic to Sullys. There is a yellow substance just under the skin of Aloe, called aloin, that is toxic to humans. Can cause intestinal problems and possible cancer. It's right under the green skin and sits on top of the clear or white gel. Now, I realize...
They are from the same hatch about 7 and half years ago. They ate the same for 5 years and Alice grew like crazy while Ed grew very slowly. Alice was given to me after 5 years. Now Alice has eaten correctly far over 2 years is still growing. Ed has not changeda bit and is still eating wrong...
Little Alice has a hot box that is about 24 X 24. She has lived in it for just over 2 years. She went into it at 17 pounds and is now over 55 pounds. She now has a heating pad which makes it even worse. She will not spend the winter in our kitchen as she is much too big for that. She will have...
We are going into the 3rd winter with Little Alice. I have moved very slowly learning what is best for us as I go. She will not be in the kitchen this winter. She will be in a greenhouse heated with a monitor kerosene heater. She will have her old metal box with curtain on wheels out there...
I finally got the job done. I painted Little Alice's condo. She used the condo all the time until a month ago when we took the ramp off to get it ready to paint. Between rain and doing allot of other things I could only get it primed at first. I had time and there was no rain so I get it done...
So Alice is 43 pounds and 6 and 1/2 years old. She has lived in my kitchen last winter and in my hot tub room all summer. She has an area about 10 X 30 chain linked fence with grass and also a condo that she is not able to live in right now. Now she has a ramp from out kitchen to the hot tub...
Alice is about 27 or 30 pounds now. She sleeps and does her business in her bed. It is a steel cubical office printer cabinet with wheels and we cut holes in the top to screw 2 dome lites in it. Using my wonderful heat detecting gun that I got at home depot I watch the temp in there carefully...
Alice is now beginning to eat orchard grass. I bought the stuff from the pet stores and lots of other stuff. I soaked it and boiled it and served it as bedding. Nothing worked. I got a like on a certified organic farm that has a special dryer for all his grasses. He let me visit. He probably...
Alice, the sully, had her Sunday bath this afternoon. She weighs 27 pounds. She came to me about 4 months ago at 17 pounds. She is comfortable and doing well thanks to all of the members here. She loves her home on wheels. She comes and goes all day long. She eats about 2 cups of Mazuri a week...
I have been preserving foods in my house for 40 years. I don't have much freezer space so I try to can and dehydrate as much as I am able to.
I would love to can things for my sully, Alice, but I don't believe it will be possible. I can get cactus pads, dandylion, collards,mustard, aloe most...
Alice has been drooling for about 2 days. I noticed when it was very hot this summer that she did it a little. I was thinking that it was from the heat. I searched this site and saw a closed thread about drooling with no real results for it.
Now I am thinking that Alice got a cactus spine in...
So I wanted to share with all of you my little corner of the world. Guess this is as good a place to put it as anyplace. My Greenhouse in summer and winter.
We haven't done much growing for Alice as we haven't had her very long. I also have 2 veggie gardens which I may set the smaller one...
I have read allot about alphalfa sprouts and some other sprouts being fed to Sullies. I am in the process of sprouting wheat grass seeds for Alice. I had planned on growing it out, in my greenhouse. My question is, can I sprinkle the sprouted seeds right on her regular food instead of the...
I have really changed the kinds of food that I give to Alice. Here is what she mostly eats. Prickly pear cactus pads, prickly pear fruits, dandilion greens, aloe, kale, mustard greens, backyard grass, collard greens. I also plan on feeding wheat grass, baby bok choy, and turnip greens. Also...
So Alice, the Sully, has 4 places to be during the day. My kitchen where she also sleeps under a heat element. She may also go out in the hot tub room. That is a greenhouse attached to my house on a cement slab. When the sun shines, it's warm enough to be there. She also has a corral just...
So after 2 months of learning, Alice got to pick her favorite breakfast food. She want right to dandelion leaves. I am having so much fun learning from all of you and from Alice. Her other choice is kale and prickly pear cactus pads. She will gave then gone by the end of the day.
Thanks...
How in the world do you all cut up this timothy hay? I am tired and my hand is getting blisters from the scissors. I have a small bag done and I just can't do anymore...
