Posted by: tripletoes at Thu Oct 8 21:09:16 2009 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by tripletoes ] Sulcatas will go through growth spurts. Not all sulcats grow the same rate it varys from tort. to tort.. Sex is also a factor i have noticed my females do not grow as rapid as the males do. She could be a female. I know you said you feed her alot and i do not doubt you but a way i have gotten sulcatas weight up is to give them all day access to graze on grass. I also try to feed some alfalfa greens in with there food (not the stems until there bigger). i had one 5 year femle go from 7lbs. to 10 lbs. this summer in a few weeks and i think what triggered her spurt was giving her more land to graze on. She actually had such a spurt that the outer layer of the shell around the bone split in several places(the fingernail like part) but thats just how she grew. Sorry i dont know much about your calcium question. | ||
