What type of grasses/plants can I plant /seed in a part of my property so the gopher tortoise would have more food to graze on...the soil is a lot of bare sand,lots of oak,with areas of pine too.....I mowed the tall sparse grass,hoping it threw seeds and to force new tender growth for grazing for the tortoise and deer. My wildlife camera hasn't caught any pictures of the tortoise yet,but lots of deer at night...even bucks with antlers....I figure if there's a mix of seeds I can scatter it out there, plus in the enclosure I am starting next week ,so I can adopt a tortoise. I read somewhere wheat grass,radish, beets....but is there regular grass seed I can buy in bulk and add really good stuff? I am new to Florida and what type of grasses are best....I am in Cedar Key,but not on the island....north central Florida, south west of Gainsville.....any help and suggestions will be appreciated.....oh, and I think I will be looking to adopt a sulcata since they do well here, I have lots of land and there are many looking to be rehomed if that makes a difference in the type of grasses to plant in the enclosure
