I have one but its still a baby. I dont really know what to feed it please help. It lives in a cold environment with no heat lamp or much sunlight. I heard u have to give it calcium but i don't know? I usually just feed it vegetables but that's it. Please i dont know what i have to do and i really dont want it to turn out unhealthy.
@wolverin648 ok you'll have to get a reptile heast lamp from a pet store and get this reptile calcium too (i use the brand rep cal) and sprinkle a little one their meals. they eat dark green leafs such as romaine, also collard greens i think. my tortoise likes argula. you can feed it a bit of tomatoe and carrots ONLY once in about 2 months. hope i helped, any qusetions please ask!
@aflpds9 Thanks! that really helped one more question it looks lonely and im not sure which turtle to put it with becuase i cant buy another sulcata so yea
@wolverin648 ususally tortoises don't need other tortoises but you can get a redfoot or leopard tortoise which grow big but not as big as a sulcata. you can even get a smaller species such as a russian
@Renesmae111 yes it has very bad pryamiding from a bad diet and environment when it was young. But it was surrendered to our rescue group and is now receiving excellent care. Unfortunately the damage can not be undone though it will be slightly less noticeable as it gets bigger.
@hanley2458 Bearded Definantly Both Great Animal's but a Beardie is good for beginner's But if it is a first reptile I would recommend a Leopard gecko
"Pyramiding" is all those bumps all over the shell. The shell should be smooth. The cause is thought to be improper humidity in the torts environment, not a lack of calcium. Metabolic bone disease, or "MBD" is caused by a lack of Ultra violet rays (sunshine) which inhibits the development of vitamin D, which in term inhibits the torts (or ANY reptile) from metabolizing calcium. They are v2 different things, and this tort does not seem to show signs of MBD.

WHOA. Thats not good. From what i can see, I think your sulcata's carapace has mountaining caused by lack of calcium. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that that is the case.
