🧠 Temperament & Behavior – Gentle Giants with Personality
Aldabras are famously chill. They’re not just big—they’re wise. These tortoises move slow, think carefully, and form strong bonds with consistent handlers. With regular interaction, many even enjoy being scratched under their chin or neck.
Expect them to:
-
🚶♂️ Follow you around the yard
-
🐢 Approach for food
-
💆♂️ Enjoy a good shell rub
-
👁️🗨️ Display awareness and memory of feeding routines
They’re ideal for large outdoor spaces and exotic animal lovers who appreciate peaceful energy and long-term commitment.
🥬 Aldabra Tortoise Diet – Natural Grazers
Aldabras are strict herbivores, and in the wild, they graze all day long. To mimic that natural behavior, offer them a diverse, fiber-rich diet.
🍃 Core Diet:
-
Orchard grass
-
Bermuda hay
-
Dandelion greens
-
Mulberry leaves
-
Hibiscus leaves & flowers
-
Prickly pear cactus pads
🥗 Occasional Add-Ins:
-
Pumpkin
-
Cactus fruit
-
Squash
-
Mazuri Tortoise Chow (juveniles + adults)
👉 Calcium + D3 should be dusted 2–3x a week for juveniles, and weekly for adults.
🏡 Enclosure Requirements – Give Them Room to Roam
These are not apartment tortoises. Aldabras need serious space and a warm, stable climate to thrive long-term.
✅ Indoor (Hatchlings & Juveniles):
-
Enclosure Size: Minimum 4×4 ft for hatchlings
-
Temps:
-
Basking spot: 95–100°F
-
Ambient daytime: 80–85°F
-
Night: no less than 75°F
-
-
UVB Lighting: High-output linear T5 fixture for 12 hrs/day

✅ Outdoor (Adults):
-
Minimum 1000+ sq ft of grassy yard
-
Heated night shelter with deep bedding
