Ziggy is one of our male African Spurred Tortoises that calls DRC home. Ziggy moved to his forever home on February 7th, 2022 with Speedy, another male Spurred Tortoise. Ziggy and Speedy were living at a nearby resort. When new owners took over the establishment, they didn't feel that they could adequately care for the tortoises and asked DRC to adopt them.
African Spurred Tortoises, also called Sulcata Tortoises, are the third largest tortoise species in the world. They are an endagered species of tortoise that nativtely inhabitats the southern edge of the Sahara Desert.
African Spurred Tortoises are herbivores, meaning their diets consists mostly of leafy greens, veggies, flowers and the occasional fruits. Ziggys favorite foods are cabbage, cooked sweet potatoes and pumpkin! He enjoys getting a shower and having his shell scratched by his care takers. Visitors can sometime find Ziggy taking a break from the sun under his tiki hut of his burrow.
