I have a sulcata tortoise and he is about 4 months we got him in june of 2007 and he is still small. Well just recently he really hasn't been eating much and it looks sort of like he has diarreah. SO I was wondering what might be wrong with him. If you could help that would be great. Also he looks like he has lost a little color to him.
Such symptoms mostly refer to diarrhea. Moreover do it shows. It some times happen when you give it easily digestible food which leads to dehydration, weight loss, and even intestinal prolapsethese tortoises grow very rapidly and gain large size normally.
Their size goes to even 80-110 pounds or more. They require food containing high fiber and calcium and low fat and protein. They require large space to live in a house. Its space should be as big as doghouse. Provide it heat as per requirement of the temperature of your environment.
