Hi there, My Sulcata tortoise is just over 1 year old. When she was bought, the vet gave us feeding instructions, which included fruit and vegetables. We soon learnt that, after some research, they require a high percentage of dry, fibrous grasses. We feed her a mix of dried grasses, but she...

I just received a baby Sulcata tortoise yesterday and although it has been very lively, overall healthy seeming - I noticed there is an injury of some kind to its belly. Attaching photos. I did some research online and have been applying Chlorhexidine to it, so far twice since I’ve got it. The...

I had to share this story with the world. We love Tom Bombadil to death, but boy is he a lot. And I wish more people knew about this issue! I don't know what we would have done without the advice of @Tom these past couple of years...
