Calcium block?

[Joshj600]

Just got a new baby sulcata tortoise. Should I leave the calcium block in there with them? He/she seems to like it and munches on a little each day.

If the tortoise will eat the block, then yes, you can leave it. Mine would never touch them.

That enclosure is way too small, and your humidity is way too low. Most of the care info found out in the world for this species is all wrong. Read this whole thread, and look for the sulcata care sheet at the bottom:
