We just got 2 new baby sulcata's about the size of golf balls. We got them from a breeder who had 97 babies.
Here are my questions...
I am reading alot about feeding grass...Are we talking lawn grass? I would have thought greens similar to a iguana diet would be good, but after reading this forum, I am not so sure about that..
Their basking spot is 105, we are soaking them 2 times a days, have a moisturizer for their shells, uvb light, and a night light to keep the temperature up.
I am new to tortoises, not to reptiles, (I used to breed bearded dragons, and iguanas in the past) and am familiar with the higher level of care for reptiles over typical pets.
They have been eating and pooping good, and I it sounds like the greens that we are feeding them are too high in protein. They are both about 2 months old.
Thanks, Brad
