Hello I'm new here in the forum.
We have 3 Sulcata Tortoises for several years. We build a pen and burrow for them after they grew.
1) I'm planning to add a small pond for them to soak themselves. I plan to build a shallow one one foot deep with rocks on bed with a small waterfall to keep the water circulating. Is a pond necessary for the tortoises?
2) On food, do Sulcata's eat hay? I can get hay (primarily for rabbits) from the pet shop. Is this good for them?
3) How does the female prepare to lay egg? ( I have seen them) Should they be in a separate enclosure?
Your comments will be appreciated.
