Description
I have a beautiful clutch of Sulcata hatchlings available, now 16 weeks old and around the size of a Jaffa Cake. They’re thriving and ready to begin their next adventure with their new families.
I’m a licensed hobby breeder, and my family has over 20 years of experience keeping and breeding tortoises. Every hatchling has been raised in my home with plenty of care and attention, resulting in healthy, confident babies with lovely, calm personalities.
Each tortoise comes with:
✔ Birth certificate
✔ Lifetime advice and support
✔ Healthy, well-started hatchling raised in a caring home
About Sulcatas
Sulcatas are the third largest tortoise species in the world and are well known for their friendly, inquisitive personalities. They grow quickly and can eventually reach 60–80 cm or more, weighing many kilograms as adults, so they require plenty of space as they mature.
With the correct care, they can live for 70 years or more, making them a truly lifelong companion.
Set-Up
I can provide a complete tabletop starter setup if required. For young Sulcatas, I also recommend adding an automatic misting system to help maintain suitable humidity levels. These are widely available on Amazon for around £30 and make caring for your hatchling much easier.
Please note; Vivariums are also appropriate for this species.

If you already have your own enclosure, I may ask for a short video along with details of your heating and lighting. This is simply to make sure everything is suitable before your tortoise leaves for its new home.
📍 Collection from my home in Birmingham
✅ Same-day collection may be available.
A small non-refundable deposit will reserve your chosen tortoise for a later collection.
These hatchlings were incubated at a mixed temperature, so their sex cannot be determined until they’re around 4 years old.
If you have any questions or would simply like to chat about Sulcatas, feel free to send me a message - I’m always happy to help.
