diet for a sulcata

Hi, Today was a nice warm day here in Tucson, AZ (actually quite hot), and so I decided to take Fergus (sulcata) outside during my lunch break (I WFH). He has finally reached 8.5" so I'm not as worried about loosing him to a ground squirrel's burrow hole or my resident rock squirrel's burrow in...

Hello I have an almost 2 year old male sulcata tortoise. I got him when he was 8 months old and he was absolutely perfect. As he’s grown I’ve noticed his shell getting much darker and some mild pyramiding so I know I’m doing something wrong and I’d like to stop this in it’s tracks so he can live...

I have had my sulcata for about 2 weeks now after adopting him from a woman who could no longer take care of him. She fed him an improper diet of dogfood and bananas for all 22 years of his life, so he has some deformation in his shell and is small for his age I believe. I have tried fixing his...

Hello! I’m Skye and I’m new here (From the Philippines as well). I recently just got a Sulcata Tortoise and it is about 2 months old. May I know some tips for their diet? Thank you!

I recently moved to a new property and relocated my 20 pound Sulcata to a new enclosure that has a horse apple tree in the center. He got ahold of a broken open horse apple and seems to enjoy them a little at a time. I just wanted to see if any knows of a reason why they would not be good for...

I’m looking for advice to stop my sulcata from drying out so much. He is 6 years old and have been told he is fairly healthy other than correcting his diet a bit. He weighs roughly 26 pounds. He’s always been picky so I’ve always had an issue with him not grazing as much as he should be...

Hi there, I am very worried about Zelda, my 7 year-old sulcata tortoise. It looks like his shell has not been growing right - I’m afraid the pyramiding has gotten worse but now it looks like something else is wrong too. He’s grown extremely fast this last year.. and this...

Hello everyone, I have a two year old sulcata and wanted to see what everyone suggests for diet at this age? Also thoughts about calcium supplements or anything like that? thanks in advance!!

I used to get a mix of seeds online, but the website that i used before is no longer a business sadly. they used custom blends for me while being a repeated customer had my info etc. Since they are no longer a thing, I am having trouble finding a good seed mix for my tortoise that has a nice...

Hey everyone, I am planning on building a new outdoor enclosure for my 3yo sulcata Aesop, but the space I want to use has a large asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) growing in the center. It gives good shade and hasn't fruited in years, so I was hoping that it would be safe for Aesop to eat the...

We recently got a young Sulcata, about a year old. I read somewhere online that you should avoid overfeeding your tortoise. How do I know how much is too much? Should I feed everyday or every other day?

Hello all, I am new to this group. I have a 14 year old sulcata. I think I overfed him on leafy greens and not enough hay and now I cannot get him to eat his hay. I stopped giving him romaine with the e-coli outbreak. Suggestions?
