Hello, I have a sulcata that is about a year and half old. I’m needing to build a tortoise table for him in my garage for winter. What is an appropriate size? Does anyone have plans with photos and list of lumber with measurements? I need to build something this month before temps start dropping...
My guppy fish of 2 years died today from pregnancy complications, and I'd like to bury her in my hibiscus soil, since its my favorite plant and it reminds me of her. I feed my tortoise, Hades, the leaves and flowers from the plant. Will it harm him if I bury her there? I know it can help the...
Hello everyone! Please advise on what I should do. My two tortoises have gotten big enough to start mating. She seems to be happy and still eating but her shell looks pretty used. What do you guys suggest?? I have considered separating them but it will leave them with very little space. Any advice ?

I did my best trying to provide as much humidity as I can. I know it's not perfect but I hope they'll continue growing up smoothly where it'll become hardly noticeable haha.
I have recently gotten into sulcata tortoises, owning a couple redfoots and a Russian for around 5 years now. I got my little sulcata Irwin(named after Steve Irwin) a few weeks ago but I've noticed the past few days the little guys had some clear bubbles coming from his/her nose. Irwin is still...
So for about a week or so my 8 year old sulcata has been cranky and digging random holes with her back legs. Yesterday she was digging with her back legs for hours in the same hole, but no eggs even though she covered the hole back up. Is this normal?
Hey guys!
So I have a 5-month-old Sulcata named Gilbert. He's doing great, very healthy, energetic, you name it. I have been weaning him onto cut grass instead of just spring mix and clover flowers (which he'd been eating for a bit as he wouldn't eat grass before -- this is now getting fixed...
