That's quite a nice set up. Just like a cattle space. Nice shelters. And I see no poop on the ground.
With THAT many Sulcata together they probably ate it all themselves.? ??

That's obviously a business. Selling babies, etc. I doubt they're selling them for food as it takes too long to grow them up to that size. It looks like a cattle feed lot. So eggs and babies is my guess.With THAT many Sulcata together they probably ate it all themselves.? ??
I was always under the impression that the sugar was bad for their kidney's. She said it was good to get water in them. I agree with that but some of the members here say sugar is a no no.I wonder if that's wrong all of the time. I'm not disagreeing but just wondering. It has a lot of fluid and is supposedly good for your kidneys. It might be something good for constipation in a tortoise. I've never used it but... just a thought.
From the picture it looks like their carapace are pretty smooth.That's obviously a business. Selling babies, etc. I doubt they're selling them for food as it takes too long to grow them up to that size. It looks like a cattle feed lot. So eggs and babies is my guess.
That's kinda what I was thinking. It's lots of fluids and a little sugar for a hurt tortoise still wondering.I always feed my Sulcata watermelon as well. About the time of Spring going to Summer I'd get a watermelon, and throw it from my deck into the Sulcata pens. Gone in a few minutes. I don't believe that much is damaging. But does she feed it regularly? Maybe that tort needs hydration? I feed once a year, daily is bad
Will the pond be the same size?Well, this is the year it happens, folks. The City's road widening project is scheduled to begin construction this fall.
Because the crew will need 10' of working room to construct the retaining wall across the front of my property I'll have to allow the pond to dry up, catch the fish and turtles. The contract calls for them to line the pond when they're all done, and that means I'll be able to have a filter! Yea!
So I've ordered four 2'x3'x8' poly water troughs, one for each species - RES, Pacific pond, Florida softshell and Phrynops hillari. I have a few smaller water troughs on hand and if anyone gets aggressive I can move them.
I don't know how long it will take for the pond to seep into the earth along with evaporation, so I've turned off the drip already. Because of covid the time frame to get my poly tanks is 70 days.
The North African leopard yard is in the front, where all the construction will be going on, so later this summer I'll be moving the leopards to a more secure (from theft) location. I'll also have to block off some of the YF yard to keep them out of sight to the construction folks. There's also deserts and russians along the frontage.
I'm turning into a nervous wreck.
I agree with that. When I first got Opo. The guy that sold me Opo said feed watermelon occasionally. To me that meant every other day. ? This forum got me straight about occasionally. ?That's kinda what I was thinking. It's lots of fluids and a little sugar for a hurt tortoise still wondering.
You poor lady. I'll be thinking of you. I wish they would think of the people they're affecting when they dream up these projects.?Well, this is the year it happens, folks. The City's road widening project is scheduled to begin construction this fall.

I have noticed that because I need to use it. Rose and I share the same FB page. Her family and friends speak in Tagalog. If I can find that post again I will look for more info. It was on the Tortoise Talk page.Some place right in the comments it gives you the option to click on translate and it translates the comments for us Americans...
Yes. So far I've only given Sapphire wild strawberries which is probably no sugar but... the red color might be good in a pinch if he needs it. He'll eat every wild strawberry I offer. I figure he'll try something red. Maybe.I agree with that. When I first got Opo. The guy that sold me Opo said feed watermelon occasionally. To me that meant every other day. ?

About every other month. I give Opo a peice of fruit.
I hate change and something on that scale would tip me over the edge I think.Well, this is the year it happens, folks. The City's road widening project is scheduled to begin construction this fall.

Oh I've just seen something might come out of all this that might be good for you. I see a better way to pray. 1. Early arrival of your tanks. 2. Nobody bites each other. 3. Help from friends if you need it ???Well, this is the year it happens, folks. The City's road widening project is scheduled to begin construction this fall.

It will be slightly smaller.Will the pond be the same size?
That was great...Opo's one chance to jump a possible female & she's wisked away. Lucy got away with the football again, Charlie Brown. Poor Opo..... or was it totally in reverse & she was coming for him?Opo went to the vet yesterday. This was the first time going to her. I am happy with this vet. They have a sully there that the side of the carapace and plastrom were smashed by a car. Florida Wild and Game brought it to them. It has become their rescue because no one claimed it.
She asked if she could bring it into the room. As you can see Opo doesn't play well with others. Opo ended up having worms. She gave me pancur for treatment. Another plus for me, was she never suggested a shot.
That's obviously a business. Selling babies, etc. I doubt they're selling them for food as it takes too long to grow them up to that size. It looks like a cattle feed lot. So eggs and babies is my guess.

You were right the first time. Opo is a male and the other was female.That was great...Opo's one chance to jump a possible female & she's wisked away. Lucy got away with the football again, Charlie Brown. Poor Opo..... or was it totally in reverse & she was coming for him?
