Status: feeding lots of fresh dandelion, 3-4 cactus pads once per week, small handful of mazuri, and a pile of moistened hay, along with almost daily 30 -45 minute soaks. Feeding a ton of dandelion greens now, can't wait til Sully can venture outside when temps warm up.

It just seems like yesterday that he hit the 10 pound mark. With spring here in most of the country, grass and weeds are in abundance which makes tortoises happy.
Have you been able to confirm the sex of Sully?

wow from an adorable little baby, to a tank in such a short amount of time! i have two, month old Sulcatas( Titan and Thor) that I'm already looking into how to build them a huge place to roam around in! Thor is a little pig he eats everything, Titan on the other hand just eats some then goes under his heat lamp and relaxes. Good looking tortoise you have!

Feeding a ton of dandelion greens. The real, natural weeds, grass and dandelion blooms are finally here, along with warming temps! Had our Sully out in fresh air and bright sunshine this week.

This past week I've started to mow our fresh green garden grass AND been mixing large handfuls of this cut grass in with Sully's food. He eats it up along with the rest of his greens and grass and hay. Now, I wish it would warm up a lot more, we had sleet and snow all day yesterday. :-(

Sully, is looking great!!!
I bet his "snack" didn't last to long judging by his concentration that he is giving those dandelions. :)

Lance, you are RIGHT! That pile was gone in a few minutes, I had to replenish with a lot more, followed by a stack of mazuri.

Status: Plenty of fresh weeds and grass. But our nice warm sunny days have disappeared! We"ve had about 20 days of almost straight rain and daily high temps only in the 60's. Starting this Wednesday, we should have upper 80's and Sully can get back outside.

Status: Plenty of fresh weeds and grass. Our cool, rainy bit has passed, and hotter and humid days of early Summer are finally here. Sully has been outside now 24/7, I think he is still adjusting to wind, rain, sunshine, and space to room. We have his sleeping shed regulated with two CHE's, attached to a thermostat.
