Tortilla the sulcata
New Member
My boyfriend has owned a sulcata for just about 11 years and was not getting the proper diet so she is rather small for her age. I will post a pic showing her size. Since I've been around weve started giving her a better diet consisting of grassland tortoise pellets, wet grass pellets, and power greens. I've also been dosing her with calcium quite a bit to make up for the last 10 years.
Anyways, with how big she's already grown in the last year, she will need a summer enclosure because we live in the Midwestern united states and winter enclosures are not possible. Spacing is a minor concern but not a huge one.
Anyways I was looking for any tips on what materials we should use to build it. I was thinking if using concrete blocks but I don't know what size enclosure. Should I use chicken wire over the top to prevent predators? I was also planning on putting a solid roof on one side for shade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
