I have had a baby sulcata for about a year now. I live in Reno NV(colder winters) and came across a guy in Sacramento that had a adult sulcata (50+lbs, 25" across his top of his shell, 12years old). I have always wanted an adult and already have a large out door area for him. I always figure that I would need to bring our tortoise's inside during the winter.
When I brought the new adult tortoise home today he within a couple hours pooped 5-7 times all bigger poops than even a large dog. Is this normal or is it because he has been out side in Sac in the cold an now that he is warming up things are moving again? How much do the poop? I am also looking for any advice on temps he needs, different diet needs, food amounts ect. I no what to do with the little guy but the large one is a different world. Thank
