## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this block be given to a sulcata tortoise ?**
A: Sorry unable to answer your question. Maybe if you ask at a pet shop. Sorry I cannot be much help to you.

**Q: Would this be suitable for baby tortoises ?**
A: Baby tortoises could nibble on it, but it is a bit big for very tiny babies

**Q: Could I give this to my mediterranean spur thighed please :)?**
A: Yes you can.  Mine chew on it periodically and it seems to help with keeping their beaks trim.  My male Horsefields is already out of hibernation and he uses it for a totally different function.  He mates with it, and he is so persistent I have to remove it from the enclosure to give him a rest!!  I think they call it enriching the environment!!

**Q: Can this be given to turtles too?**
A: I don't know, but the two are closely related, so I can't see why not. Our tortoises (in South Africa) loved it. Geoff in Johannesburg
