All mine are fed once a day except my hatchling sulcata and he is fed a small amount three times a day. I figure he is still a baby and needs more than the others.

The hatchlings and yearlings once a day, the older every other day.

Depends on the tort. As a general rule everybody gets fed daily...or atleast the chance to eat. When out in their outdoor enclosures, often the food I prepare goes uneaten as they like whatever is naturally available. If I have an underweight animal (such as the Homes hingebacks when they arrived), they often get an added little meal.

Depends on the tort and season.

Sulcata's and adult Leopard free graze outside from spring to mid fall. During winter they are fed large salads mixed with chopped hay every other day. They always have orchard grass hay available and will still wander outside to find some dry grass or weeds when they feel like it. Cactus pads and squashes are offered on occasion.

Indian Star's and young Leopard's are offered food in the am and again in the pm.
