I have three Sulcatas. 3 Years, 6 years and 8 years. Has anyone ever been successful in training Sulcatas? Growing up, we had a neighbor that had a Calif. Desert Tortoise that was trained to walk out the open yard gate when it was opened, and it would walk around the whole block in the neighborhood on the sidewalk, and it would go right back into its yard.
We live on a cul-de-sac and I have attempted to train our 8 year old to walk around the cul-de-sac, and go back into the yard. I have used hibiscus flowers to entice him to follow me, but it is not really working. However, if I put him on the sidewalk, he turns and knows how to go back to his yard.
Any thoughts on how to teach a Tortoise?
