I had some Sulcata babies that hatched naturally from one of the nest.
So far there's 17 , they are slowly leaving the burrow.
I'm looking for an easy simplified care sheet to give to new owners when the babies are ready.

This one is for you to follow to give those babies a good start before they go to their homes. What you do in the first few days and weeks will have a huge impact down the road. These tips are good for ground hatched or incubator hatched babies.
http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/how-to-incubate-eggs-and-start-hatchlings.124266/

When the babies go to their homes, this is the most condensed version I know of that will still get across all the info they need to keep their baby alive and well: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/how-to-raise-a-healthy-sulcata-or-leopard-version-2-0.79895/

Most people end up going to a pet sot roe for supplies (Seems logical, right?), and they get horrible advice there. This one will help prevent that damage:

Another big problem is that people tend to go to the store and buy romaine lettuce to feed their new baby. This one will help them learn what to feed their new baby: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/for-those-who-have-a-young-sulcata.76744/page-17#post-1518869

I find it easier to tell buyers to come to TFO and read. If they join, I will link all these threads to them. I don't know how much more simplified it can get without leaving important details out.

Thanks Tom, yes I a lot of people don't know anything about torts (especially that they need water!), I wanted an easy way to explain their care to eole who have never owned a tortoise before. I always tell them about this website ,it has helped me a lot!
