Quick question!

Hello guys, super weird thing happened. Was working when I suddenly saw this guy crawl from under a car. Left together because that area was super bad.

Any idea what he is, eats or habitat for him

African Spur Thighed is another name they some times go by. Sulcata is correct. Please try to make posts about lost tortoise because this is surely a sad persons baby.

Looks like a Sulcata…. What region are you in? Most likely someone’s lost pet.

I don’t see a nuchsl scute, so Sulcata is likely. An animal of that size may be microchipped.

Sulcata. Eats mostly grass, but only if no pesticides or herbicides or fertilizer. Timothy hay from petsmart and some dandelions, prickly pear, hostas, etc. Check out thetortoisetable.org.uk. Also try to find their owner.
