So I am wondering what age should I put my sulcata in a 10' by 10' foot enclosure outdoors?
It's not so much age as size.So I am wondering what age should I put my sulcata in a 10' by 10' foot enclosure outdoors?
I'm asking at what age should I move my sulcata to a permanent outdoor enclosureNot sure what you are asking. Even hatchling should get outside time in limited doses. An hour or 2 at a time. Increasing as they get bigger. By 8 to 10 inches most move them out permanently with a heated night box.
As Jodie and I said, it's size not age.I'm asking at what age should I move my sulcata to a permanent outdoor enclosure
Ok thank you both I appreciate the helpful responses.As Jodie and I said, it's size not age.
She says 8-10 inches (that's straight line shell length)
That's a beautiful tortoise he looks very well fed. I think once my tortoise hits 7 inches then I will put him in the enclosure so about in a couple months!Speedy is outside all day , he comes in at night because I don't have his night box done ! He is about 7 1/2 to 8 inches . He is about a year and 8 months . Here is a pic to reference !
