I bought the tortoises and they already had some form of pyramiding so i am working on making them smoother so take it easy on me haha

heres the vid: (Today I had to put them on the cement because i was working on cutting the grass and didnt want the tortoises getting in the way, and it made it easier to film the vid too because i could leave my phone there, and even though they tried biting it a few times

video is not working so i will join vimeo lol so i can upload it and add it here

Thanks for the info. I assume that all 4 torts are sulcatas? If so, I think tort #1 is huge. My tort is almost a year and he only weights abt 1 1/2 lbs. I though he was big....I'm finding--not so. Thanks for the stats.

Hah thanks i cant wait till the monster gets bigger hah, how big is yours?

If anyones wondering, i feed them mazuri only but they eat grass when they want but that's rarely, right now they like romaine mainly hah they're pretty picky

Awesome yea you totally have a chance at him getting huge, i think its the amount you feed them lol, i kind of fed them a lot early on but later on i gave them what was enough because overfeeding causes pyramiding i was told lol

 

[l0velesly]

Aw, they look so great!

I hate being so paranoid about pyramiding:S I also heard too speedy of a growth can cause pyramiding as well, so it's worth taking my time and enjoying the days when he's a little one^_^

Woah late reply hah but yea i am glad its not too bad, i controlled what they already had and cant believe i managed to do it because looking back, they already had quite a bit, and well i'd rather see them big, i really want to see how big they get
