I just looked up the ingredients to this stuff. WHY??? Soybean? Corn? Wheat? These are things I avoid as a human and don't even feed to my dog- for great health reasons.... All filler. Why feed them to a tortoise???? Is it because of the other vitamins/minerals? I read somewhere on this forum...

I'm reposting here after posting in General Discussion and getting no response back. Fergie is about 7 weeks old. UV/humidity/diet is all on point per pinned threads I've read on this forum (mostly by Tom). I've also read on this forum that young tortoises do have a bit more flex to them. The...

Little dude or dudette is only 7 weeks old. UV/humidity/diet is all on point per pinned threads I've read on this forum (mostly by Tom). I've also read on this forum that young tortoises do have a bit more flex to them. The spacing in between the scutes is widening, which indicates growth to me...

When do you introduce fruits and vegetables (very sparingly, of course) to your baby sulcatas? I have read through the pinned threads on diets but couldn't seem to find an age range for the introduction of foods besides dark leafy greens/weeds/grass/hay/edible flowers.

We all survived the first two weeks haha! Great appetite and activity level. Looking good, IMO. I feel like he/she has grown in these two weeks- not significantly, but definitely noticeable to me... Or am I just imagining it hehe

No Name (4 1/2 weeks) was super active yesterday! Really enjoyed the outdoor habitat, didn't sleep at all during the day. Too much fun marching around the perimeter. Today, super sleep. Did eat after morning soak and went right back to sleep. Was even kinda groggy and didn't seem ready to wake...

We were super active yesterday, marching around and today- not so much. Pooped yesterday AM during soak and ate really well. Didn't poop this morning during soak and didn't eat breakfast, just went back to sleep. I feel like this is probably normal considering it's only 4 1/2 weeks old. I'm...

The first 24 hours with this little tortoise have been so wonderful and fulfilling! With so many thanks to all of you on this forum. Without this website, I would have been a hugely stressed and unable to enjoy this new addition. Thank you all so incredibly much for providing all of this...

Has anyone put quartz geodes or other semi-precious rocks/minerals in their habitat for decor? Size wise, I've attached photos below. They are fairly big and all natural of course. My tortoise is 4 1/2 weeks old and will be picked up tomorrow. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any succulents or aloe...

Hi guys. My last post was in January! Since then, I have continued to read/research through the suggested pages on this forum, coupled with a few other resources. All have been extremely helpful and consistently aligned with what the other sources say- which is comforting because I'm a bit of a...

Hi everyone, I'm sorry that I don't have a tortoise to introduce, but I will soon. I have a great book about Sulcata Tortoises but I know there are many ways of accomplishing one goal. I wanted to give myself a few months to acquire the necessary items and set up an appropriate enclosure for a...
