Hello, im a Tortoise mommy, looking to chat with other Sulcata owners. Great idea having a tortoise forum. Hope to hear from you soon.
Well i have a moveble pen for mine,and they say at least an acre per sulcata when they get bigger,i have two acres here for mine,but there not that big yet!,can you move your pen around in another area of your yard,so your grass can recoop?.TheSlowskis said:I have 2 rescue torts, both boys, approximately 15-20 years old. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about how to help the grass recover in their pen. We have an area for them that is approximately 35' x 16'. They are bulldozers and are constantly renovating. If we increase the size of the enclosure, will that help it recover? How much larger should we make it? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! "The Slowskis"

We are looking for one to rescue to keep her company. She is a character for sure. We give her free run of the yard so she does not over eat the grass.
We recently were given a Golden foot tortoise by a guy who could not keep him and we like him a whole lot. Though Percy sure does dwarf him LOL!
Does anyone elses Sulcata try to eat the cat food? We got adopted by a stray kitte and its mama and we put a mix of dry and wet cat food out for them. Then we caught Percy eating it! Will it hurt her? we took it away, but my son forgot to put it on the table for the cats and she ate it again!

They are still a little timmid and shy but seem to be comming around. I just found this site in a post to craigslist and it seems to be awsome. It's nice to know that there is a place i can go to ask questions and get opinions from other people who love there shelled babies as much as i do. I can't wait to get home and spend a litte more time checking out the site and post pics of the babies and the awsome habitat that we built for the hingback last month......
