Hello. I have three baby sulcata tortoises. Tiny, uncle grandpa & dude. (I don't think dude is a sulcata?)My boyfriend got them and he's currently on vacation. I personally have no idea what im doing! Ok so, they havent gotten much bigger since we got them in July. I personally have no idea how old they are.. any guesses?? We keep them inside in a glass encloser and take them outside for only about an hour a day.. is that bad?(we don't have a steady place to live at the moment.. ) I recently heard glass enclosers are not a good idea, true or false? I have a heat light for both day and night. During the day their enclosers usually around 90-95 degrees and at night I try to keep it cooler around 75-80. Is that good or no? I need any and all information I can get about taking care of these guys because their my children! Today I noticed my littlest one had a tad bit of white milky substance in her pee and she made a couple faint squeaks and kept going in like she had to pee but nothing or very, very little came out. What does that mean?? Should I take her to the vet? And how much does vet visits typically cost? I'm worried something may be wrong with her.. she isn't her normal self the last couple days, not eating at much as she did and sleeping a little more... WHAT DO I DO?
Diet. Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing
I've been giving them different kinds of greens, but they seem to like kale most. I give them squash, strawberries, grapes, (most of their food is greens though) along with a small amount of these pebble looking things they sell at petsmart for tortoise dietary supplements.. and I sprinkle d3 on their food .. is that okay?
They are a bit of a handful but I am trying.. any and all suggestions and tips are much appreciated!! Please!!
