I am so excited to have finally adopted a baby sulcata. However I feel so overwhelmed with the amount of contradictory information out there! I honestly didn't have time to set forth a plan for Sheldon, my husband ordered him and a tortoise box that arrived two days ago. We went online to find out what I needed to buy for him and to say the least I am very confused! I have no idea what type of bedding is best, i dont know if he should or should not have a water dish in his box, what foods are good... I have the commercial tortoise box, I bought the heat/ UV lamp and a food dish. He is using rabbit pellets as bedding (recommended by pet store) I have been giving him chopped up spring mix and cucumbers. I have put him in a water bath just up to his chin and he hates it and tries to climb out, i dont think he drank anything. I cave the calcium powder and sprinkled it on his food this morning. I dont have anything for him to nest in except the rabbit pellets, some sites say he needs moist moss... Others say no. Please help before he becomes ill. I am so scared that I will cause him harm. Thank you!!
