Your set up isnt a cardboard box is it? .
What are you feeding them and what are your plans for the future when they turn into 100 pound bulldozers?
I have 4 and two yards. one 100x40 that houses the two big guys. It is so overgrown i could cut it smaller, but the other two will grow into it soon!
and two heated sheds.. $$ higher in the winter. oh well...

I’m a novice when it comes to tortoises. I’ve learned a lot from this site. I feed mine Mazuri but I’m not sure the acid in the pineapple juice would be good for them, I could be wrong.

They are very cute.

I've never heard soaking Mazuri in pineapple juice, doesn't sound right to me. I hope to see more pictures of your Sulcata's in their enclosure.

I think water would be better.. but maybe the fruit juice enticed them to eat at first.. I would back off on it tho.. and feed veggies as well...

it was actually apple juice but it was only to soften the food up and entice eating.
