: Holding out a hibsicus flower is just too tempting for my sulcata and out she comes.
: Linda

: : My new sulcata is very shy. He is three years old and every time I go to visit he hide in his shell and does not come out for a long time. Does anyone have suggestions?

As Linda suggested.... food is always a lure... also just spend time near the enclosure, so the tortoise gets used to your presence. It can take awhile if your guy is so shy, but I'm sure you will succeed. How long have you had him?
