I am trying to plant everything I can to create my sulcata's diet. I am ordering seed mixes for grass and I have researched and collected many different weeds and I have purchased a weeping mulberry tree (the organic nursery didn't carry regular mulberry trees) and now I'm looking for grape leaves, I will have to purchase a grape vine and not sure which one I should look for, is there a certain type they prefer?

I'm not quite sure, but I'd pick something that grows easily in you area :)

Ok. I wasn't sure if I had to have a certain kind. That's great, about any will work in my area. And thank you, I am trying to do my best for the baby's.

I have Thompson seedless grapes (but only because I like to eat them!) I don't think it matters what type of grape since they just eat the leaves.

I have about 10 different varieties. My tortoise seem to love the leaves from them all. They certainly don't ever turn any of them down.

I don't know of any that you shouldn't use.

My Reds will eat the leaves as well....particularly the new young "shoots" . Of course' the fruit is fair game in their eyes . Here is a Cabernet Sauvignon variety growing within their enclosure.
