I have a sulcata tortoise that is about a year old. They eat and sleep most of the time, which never struck me as out of the ordinary, but while watching some videos I learned that they are supposed to be somewhat active as baby’s. Whenever I pull them out of their hide, they just crawl back in...
So I have been reading around about what to feed tortoises, but I can’t find a straight answer. My tortoise is 8 months old, female, and a sulcata. I have been feeding her mainly a spring lettuce mix which has lettuce, arugula, and mizuna. I occasionally add kale every 2 days, and nopalito...
