Sulcata eggs??

[FADE2BLACK_1973]

Congrats on the eggs!!!!!!!! Btw, I think Angela needs a new baby sulcata. So you might need to send her one too because she is always in the Sulcata section on this forum...JK... I told her that it's bout time she get's one anyways. And giving away free one's from a member that will need to give them to good homes, well cant get any better then that. But anyways I hope they do well and good luck..

I hope you get some hatchlings! If these were redfoots i'd be all over them

romaine isnt that great.. but better then nothing.. i guess... try to get her onto hay...

 

[Tony the tank]

Laura. She has hay and orchard grass available 24/7... I hope she will start eating it.. But since her diet has been mostly apples and waterfowl pellets...I'm going to let her eat what ever she wants..within reason of course...for a few weeks..

Yay I'm glad the eggs aren't destroyed. I hope they successfully hatch

You guys are a pair of funny guys huh? I absolutely adore this species of tortoise...they are absolutely a FANTASTIC tortoise and fell in love with them the very first time I ever laid eyes on one...and yes, one day I hope to have one....however, that would mean I would have to dig and dig and dig (for heavy gauge steel pipes) for ALOT of fencing and right now I am not able to do that...so alas, I will have to wait (huh, but it does take a while for them to be outside????) hey you two...stop it, now you have me planning what I would need to do to have one....and this spring I have a couple of RF outdoor pens to set up solid....hahaha....

I do think it is great that the Mom has eaten as you described...romaine is of course not great by itself, but as a part of a balanced spread it is good....romaine does have some benefits in that it is yummy and allows hydration as well as a yummy lead in to encourage the appetite....5 cactus pads? wholly crap my biggest CDT can only force down one (and that is on a good day...lol)..

Well went out to dig up the eggs with all intention of destroying them.... And wife and daughter talked me out of it... So in total there were 24 eggs.. 8 were broken and one was cracked... So I gathered up what looked viable and placed them in a sweater box with some topsoil ,sand and Damp vermiculite... And put them in Tony's enclosure...The temp in that side of the room fluctuates between 85 and 90*f... It's not a incubator... But it's a better chance than being outside in 30f temps..

Any thing else I can do to give them a chance??

that would b soo cool... i wish i had a lil baby. or even eggs to hatch maybe someday

Try to feed her some Mazuri, since she was fed duck pellets. Be worth tryin it. Plus supplement the romaine with some collard, mustard, turnip greens, and sneak some good calcium and vitamin supplements in there. Or buy some Fluker's vitamin spray with electrolytes and spray it on the greens. Great stuff. I used to spray it on mice for pythons in the past to help give that extra stuff

Btw, Angela has the sulcata itch like I did ....lol

I Would Gladly pay for the shipping! and the chance to raise my own hatchling! After seeing Guptas new enclosure, I gotta building ITCH!

I read that and just had to post on here lol
I would love to be able to take one of your little sulcatas. Gupta is amazing but that would put me at two.. And I don't think sulcata pairs are a good idea haha
So I will just have to take like three of them !!!!! Lol jk
Seeing those eggs still makes me really want one
I have tortoise love bad lol I started off with gupta joined this forum and now I am getting a leopard and thinking about getting some Greeks and love wood turtles or box turtles or both!!
My boyfriend and family think just look at my like I'm nuts of course.
I'd love to be hatching me some eggs one day.
I just also dont wanna end up having a zoo one day that's overwhelming , hard to find happy medium when u have serious tortoises envy lol
Awesome eggs though

yah.... 'fraid I caught the "Baby Sulcata Bug"! with any luck I'll get a girl and wont have to worry about fighting males.... but I wont have to worry about any of that for at least the next 6-7 years!

I know exactly what you mean! My mom kept Russians when I was growing up so at least she understands the love and I don't live at home anyway. But I just got my first sully and I already know I want two more... And I'll probably get a couple stars as I finished my thesis! Gift to myself

I agree with the no zoo thing. I want to add to my herd slowly, one species at a time so they all get the love and attention they deserve
