Pet Sulcata Tortoise

What do Sulcata tortoises eat? Grass. In its native Saraha, the Sulcata nomadically roams in search of grass, which is critical to its health. "Timothy Hay" is a great substitute if fresh grass is not available. But your tortoise will also need a water source. In addition to the grass, fresh greens, vegetables and fruit may also be offered, but as a supplement. Possibilities include kale, mustard greens, mushrooms, strawberries, bananas, dark green lettuce, pieces of squash, etc. If the Sulcata has access to fresh grass, it will get the nutrients it needs from the grass plus little bits of soil for nutrients.

Romaine lettuce or watermelon on a hot day will prevent dehydration. If your tortoise appears to have "goggles" of moisture around its eyes, it needs water. A large very shallow container of water is also a great idea, especially when the weather is warm. Or a dousing from the hose, or turning on the sprinklers for a couple of minutes.

A Sulcata is not a pet to be kept in a container such as an aquarium tank. It will need plenty of room, especially as it grows into its seventh year or so. The more room your pet Sulcata Tortoise has to move, the healthier it will remain. It may also grow more quickly than a tortoise confined to a small space, because of the exercise.

Always provide warmth when the weather is below 65 degrees, and a constant shade source when the temperatures are over 75 ...

How To Clean Excess Wax From Your Dog's Ears

This step is best done outdoors, in the bathroom, or somewhere else you don’t mind making a mess (and don’t forget you’re supposed to be wearing old clothing)! After you have massaged the dog’s ears adequately, turn him loose and let him shake out the cleaning solution, ear wax, dirt and debris.http://www.workingdogs.com/doc0079.htm Once your dog has stopped shaking his head wildly, have your assistant hold him again while you wipe his ear flaps.

Wipe the hairless side of the ear, and with a twisiting motion use a cotton ball, a folded piece of gauze or a soft cotton cloth to remove the remaining oil and debris from the ear canal.http://www.workingdogs.com/doc0079.htm If your dog is being calm and cooperative, you may use a cotton swab to gently clean the folds around the opening of the ear canal, but NEVER stick the swab further down the ear than you can see. You might push the wax and debris further into the ear, scratch the delicate lining of the ear canal, or puncture your dog’s ear drum.http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/ClientED/dog_ears.aspx

Keeping your dog’s ears clean and dry will help reduce his risks of ear problems. Here are a few simple ways to keep your dog’s ears healthy:

Some dog breeds have hair in their ears which traps heat and moisture in the ear canal. Gently plucking the offending hairs ...
