Hi All,
I will be going on a trip in late September of this year, and I have a yearling sulcata who will be 2 by then. I will be gone for a total of 5 days and 5 nights, and am looking for suggestions on how to care for the little buddy while away. I don't really have anyone nearby who I can depend on to come over and care for my Frankie daily like I would wish, so I am considering putting the little buddy in a vet boarding type hotel.
I trust that the vets will not abuse or cause harm to my tortoise, but I'm worried that Frankie will freak out and will be terrified the entire time.
There is plenty of grass in the little guys enclosure, but he still prefers to eat dandelion, bok choy, etc. and hasn't moved to a full on grass diet yet. And as much as he eats, I would have to leave a pretty substantial amount of food in his area that would no doubt wilt and get nasty after a few days.
Looking for all and any suggestions on what you might have done which has worked or didn't work.
Thanks in advance!
