My screen name is Nyquil (childhood nickname). I inherited a pair of sulcata tortoises last week. They were much, much bigger than anticipated. The I’d been shown had nothing for size reference, but they were only three years old. One is male and one is female. Bonnie and Clyde. They are both walking around, but only one seems to be eating and approaching the water. Both have pooped. I’m getting worried. We tried to hang outside in the lawn yesterday, but the temperature dropped as soon as we got settled in the grass. I read that one may bully the other from eating and drinking. I decided that what I thought was a cute, quirky tortoise thing, getting in a single file line, was actually a maneuver to keep a buddy tortoise from getting nourishment. Not as cute, right? So, now I feed them separately. I’m worried that they’ll starve or dehydrate if they don’t start consuming more soon.
. fill the bath about a Couple inches.. don’t give them the option to not be in the water. Just Ip to the bottom of the neck. Think “hot tub” or spa
