You will get lots of help from the members here. To help us help you better please tell us about your tortoise(s). How old or how big? What part of the world you live in? Just some things like that. And, oh yeah, can you post a few pictures of them. In the mean time, keep them warm.Rachael88 said:Hi my sister got some sulcata tortoises yesterday and when we went to the pet store they tired selling us bedding. Will anyone be willing to stay on an chat as to what we need what they can eat. And care

You're welcome. Read all the care sheets in the Sulcata section. Others have responded to your other thread with some good information. Sulcata babies, like babies from every species, are kept different than adults. Babies lose heat faster and the dehydrate faster than adults. So, you need to keep them where the temps are warm, have a basking spot for them, and keep them hydrated by regular soakings and a humid enclosure for them.Rachael88 said:Ok thank you so much!
