Hi everyone, so I have a 5 year old sulcata thats been staying with my mom right now in southern california for the past year or so. Shes about 15 pounds now. Shes wondering if our tortoise is sick or if its normal what shes doing? Also, she seems to have developed some stuff on her shell. I was wondering what that was? maybe dehydrated?
Shes been in a hibernation like state since early November, she just lays in a dog bed all day. She does sometimes have her eyes open to watch whats going on but for the most part shes just been laying around. I believe they said she does move around a little bit from time to time but not much. During the spring/summer/fall she has pretty much free roam of the house/property every day and is super active. she will roam around all day then when shes done come back inside and go to her pen to warm up and sleep.. she eats really well, we give her sulcata pellets, hay, all the good stuff. She would get baths about once a week. she would get tons of sunlight each day so we never bothered with a uvb bulb.
