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...
I saw my first Gopher Tortoise on my property today. He saw me walking and he ran as fast as he could to slide down his tunnel....I have 7 or 8 tortoise dens on my property,most seem abandoned...I knew his was still being used because I can see sand had been thrown out and the slide marks going...
I dont have a tortoise yet,checking out information,not sure what kind I want,
but would probably want one that can spend most of its time in a outside pen.
I'm in Florida.Kinda in the Gainsville area...
I've always wanted one but was never in a position to get one till now.
Looking forward to...
