He is a cutie ....I'm gonna assume gopher tortoise which means I'm gonna have to release him since I live on 6 acres of land surrounded by over 10neighbors with 6+ acres of land with millions of other gopher torts I'll make sure he's well taken care of before I release him in a safe spot
He is most definitely not a sulcata I have 2 of those, I am also the only sulcata owner in the neighborhood. I live in Florida and yes I know the laws ..I just wanted to make sure what he was before I released him..he's super cute im gonna name him (sunny with a chance ) but sunny for short
Well he's not eating hasn't been since he was found. Iv been soaking him everyday in water and baby food And leaving food for him And he's not even trying to eat. I have him separated in his own area with everything he needs and he goes outside thinking the sun would help but he's not wanting to do anything but burry himself n sleep I don't wanna release him he'll get eating in a heart beat and I don't want him to die ...any ideas
OK well then I need a little help determineing what he is :/ here's a picture of a baby red foot n baby yellow foot n then sunny ..no matter what he is he won't eat and I want him to be healthy
i would let another more experienced member tell you because to me the shell screams redfoot but the head and arms say something different as for the not eating thing try feeding certain colors like red and yellow or go out and get some weeds and flowers that he'd be eating if he were outside i'm going to keep my eye on this now because i'm most interested to see what others think he is
but after seeing that picture you just posted id say gopher now to is it illegal?
