Please see 2 attached pictures of the 2 year old Sulcata I’m adopting on Saturday.
He’s been raised for the past year in a 100 gallon aquarium and only fed kale and strawberries every day.
We’re building his outdoor enclosure this week, but I’ve been searching the forum and have a couple of questions that I can’t find clear answers to:
1. I see slight pyramiding. What can I do to help turn this around? He’ll be on grass / hay / SOME leafy greens diet and outside much of the day so hope that will help.
2. He’s only about 5” long measuring his shell. I believe he’s too young to be outside 24/7 - am I correct? Should I bring him in at night?
I live in New England so it gets cold; right now it’s great weather for him. We don’t have birds of prey here. His outdoor enclosure will be 8’x8’ for now while he’s still little. It will stand 3’ tell and will not be able to see through so should prevent anything like dogs getting in to him. He’ll have hides, and things to climb.
I just want to make sure he’ll be safe outside, and if not we have space to keep him inside!!
Thanks so much!
