[@anitabeel60]

i Might have miss this in all your informational videos but can sulcata eat Romain lettuce every day as well as alfalfa and orchard hay? on my way to buy cement bins. thank you

[@rickrivera2734]

Can you tell me if there is a certain kind of hibiscus plant I need to buy. I went to my local nursery only to find a few different kinds of hibiscus plants. Thank you for sharing your tortoise knowledge. Rick

[@ReadyReptiles]

Rick Rivera All hibiscus’s are edible for tortoises. The leaves , the flowers , and the pods. Just make sure when you get your plant to make sure it’s been thoroughly washed and let it quarantine itself for a few weeks before feeding . This is to make sure that all chemicals are out of the system of the plant . No problem for sharing the knowledge ! Thanks for watching and supporting me !

Are roses a good flower for them.?

[@jeanconneely3602]

Good video, thanku

[@lilianasanimalzoo2821]

My sulcata is a year and a half I feed her mustard greens, collard greens, nopal, red leaf and romaine. She takes a soak for 20 minutes a day and walks outside for about two hours a day since we don’t have grass in the back of my California house so is that ok and she is going to move back into a 3 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft wooden enclosure outside is this fine or should I switch something

Do you have pop tart and bagel bite updates ?

[@vpena8621]

How often do you feed a baby sulcata tortoise? About 4 months

[@eileencarr8406]

How often does the bedding need to be changed

[@studbourbon798]

I use the plastic kiddie pools. Cheap and lots of room .

[@lindafiscer4718]

How much do you feed a baby sulcata and how many times

[@SuperBotanica]

this video is now 2 years old and I still have no instagram, twitter oder aehnliche social media.

[@arelydubon]

I love your tortoises. I have mine in my apartment. What can I feed my 2 year old tortoises aside from lettuce

[@RONPEE-STINGER]

Not lettuce lol

[@BigDawg120]

3:39 😂 gotta go huh

[@Momosmom]

I have a 2 month old hatchling. Loves the greens but won’t touch the hay pellets that I soaked to make a mash. Is this something they will eat later as the grow?

[@ReadyReptiles]

They usually pick it up with appetite later on , but what I recommend is sprinkling the hay and pellets in tiny pieces over the already diet of greens that your tortoise will eat.

[@energeticsoulhealer888]

Your one torty is pyramiding. Can that be fixed?

[@destineymaynard7761]

What about cucumbers? And when you say pumpkin can it be canned? No right? Idk lol

[@ReadyReptiles]

Cucumber is a controversial food item it should be treated as if you’re feeding fruit . So In a controlled moderation that would be ok , also remove the seeds for the cucumber . Pumpkin should be fed whole and fresh.

He should not be eating rocks .

What do you seal the wood with on the enclosures?

[@ReadyReptiles]

Don’t really seal it . I Just buy treated wood . It’ll eventually have to be replaced but last along time

[@TheOGSmOKeY]

@@ReadyReptiles damn. I just bought untreated pine. Thoughts? Should I seal? Or for sulcatas, think it will be fine for a while? Or should I use a sealer?

[@SuperBotanica]

@@TheOGSmOKeY go for linseed oil

[@gelemyflorez6187]

Do you sell any of the tortoises?

[@ReadyReptiles]

I do! Currently don’t have any available !

What are your thoughts on women

[@ReadyReptiles]

The Official Gorda KZbin Channel what kind of question is that? And how does it relate to the care of a Sulcata tortoise .

[@julianlara9496]

gtfo clown. no cap you a fool!

[@almendraspinelli4111]

Hmmm in case you weren’t aware, the video has to do with how to take care of a sulcata tortoise. Your comment has NOTHING to do with what the video is about. If you have a problem with women, deal with it on your own. Your ignorance and stupidity DOESNT need to be displayed in the comment section of a guy who is simply entertaining animal lovers and showing his passion for it :) it’s embarassing! seriously though, what type of question is that?! I’m sorry you have a problem with women, I feel bad for you honestly ! Much love xx

[@SuperBotanica]

yes, but try to feed different green like leaves of hibiscus and mulberry tree, cactus, sprouts, some weeds....sulcatas are good lawn mowers years later. but in the wild these animals often fast - the secret of old age
