HI there - our adult sulcata ( we rescued him three years ago) is about 100 pounds. We live in Northern California where it gets chilly (40s - 50s) this time of year. In the warmer months, our guy is outdoors for hours every day, grazing on our quite ugly but varied greens grass in our large back yard. In the winter he rarely comes out of his heated hut. We take him out about once every week or two and soak him in a kiddie pool with warm water. When I put grocery greens or hay (from the sulcata approved diet list) or even water in a bowl in his house with him he pretty much ignores it. This happens every winter, we've had him for three years. And every year about this time I freak out over the fact that he's not eating/drinking and not coming out. Any suggestions? I'm considering trying tortoise pellets, but not sure that is appropriate for such a big guy (if he'd even notice them).
