I have been wanting a sulcatta for about a year now, and have been doing my reasearch. I finally got a baby this morning at a reptile show, and he is now roaming his temporary indoor enclusure. I have a 4x4 enclosed outdoor cage that I kept my eastern box turtles in, but he will be moved into it soon, since there arent any more box turtles in there. To day i ordered him some Tortoise Pasture Seed Mix, from sucatafood.com, and also got a pack of there immuno bost. mY questions are, he his about 60 days old right now, how long should I wait untill I move him outside. The cage is enclosed, so no predators can get to him, but insects (ants, earwigs, centipedes, etc) get into the cage, and live in the soil. I have the seed mix coming from sulcattafood.com, but what other types of platns should I add to his diet. Thanks in advance, and Ill post some pics of the little guy soon.
