    How much do I feed my 5 yr. old Sulcata?

    Hi Tortoise Family I just adopted my Sulcata, he is 5 years. He has my backyard with tons of nice grass to graze on all day. Usually before work I give him a paper plate full of kale, collards etc then when I get home give him another plate of greens. is this enough? Please advise? thanks Lori

    What the heck is 'soaking'?

    U are so right about rain drops! I put out a large flat tray about 1 inch deep (all i could find till I get kiddie pool ) and when I spray hose he heads right over o it and walks thru it! So glad I asked about this!

    What the heck is 'soaking'?

    Okay another stupid question.. Why do we do this? He's pretty heavy to pick up about 50 pounds.. Also, what happens when he gets too big for lifting and putting in tub?

    What the heck is 'soaking'?

    my sulcata is 5 years old and I recently adopted him. What is meant by "soaking"? I leave 2 shallow water bowls in my backyard and never have witnessed him drinking water - I spray him with hose maybe once a week - he kinda likes it. and of course living in Miami we do get a lot of rain. help?
