Nala

[Mark W]

This is my African spurred Sulcatta Tortoise. Her name is Nala!
She is a rowdy one, she likes to climb the walls, as an attempt of escaping. Her diet is mostly Romaine Lettuce, i give her baby carrots and strawberry every once and a while. and she has Timothy hay in her Table to Nom if she wants. her substrate is calcium sand and dry moss. I live in Kansas, and the winter can be harsh, so i am sure to use a space heater if need be. I love my tortoise and care very much for her safety. if you have any pointers or suggestions, i would be happy to see them! View attachment 1551

welcome!

Make sure you keep that diet varied! Escarole, endive, spring mix, collard greens, kale, green leaf, red leaf lettuce, etc.

Hello Mark and welcome to the forum...

How long have you had Nala? She really needs a better diet, the link given above is a good place to start and see if you need to adjust anything...

I took Nala to the vet because she had a little runny nose, and we got some medicine for her, at first it was easy to trick her into eating it, but now she does not trust me, does anyone know the best way to get a tortoise to eat her medicine?
