Baby Sulcata barely growing, doesn't eat grass

[Barajcam/ Whilma]

My sulcata is 3 years old and is only 4 inches long and doesn’t graze on grass like most sulcatas she eats a lot and doesn’t seem to lose appetite she has an outdoor habitat and has grown alittle over the year but is there anything I can do to help her start grazing on grass and help her back to proper growth like most sulcatas because I know she should be a lot bigger by now

Do you have a picture? What does she eat if not grass?

 

[Barajcam/ Whilma]

she eats a lot of hibiscus flowers and leaves other flowers, succulents, greens, tamatos, and occasional fruits very active and no sign of sickness she just isn’t growing well

Ok fruits and tomatoes are not good, the rest is alright, are you sure this is a 3 year old sulcata? What is her enclosure? Do you keep high humidity? Do you give her uvb?

Do you feed any calcium rich foods or calcium powder or any other stuff that's rich in calcium? Does it get enough uvb from sun or uvb tube or bulb?

Check these out and then let us know what is different in your enclosure and care routine.

Is the enclosure warm and humid? Do you keep the tortoise indoors or out? What size enclosure?

Yes she is 3 years old I got her in 2016 I have her in a 50 gallon tank indoors and a large space in the back yard I use a 26 watt uvb and a 75 Wyatt heat lamp both are higher off the tank and little humidity

Seal that 50g, put in a humidity absorbing substrate like fir bark or coco coir, pour some water in there and mix with your hands, don't let temps go below 80 at any place, don't let her spend too much time outside as even if she's 3 yo she's the size of a couple months old. That's my advice to you, I think you are gonna have to treat her like a baby until she really grows...
