Baby sulcata diet

[josh__239]

Hello just wondering what to feed my baby sulcata or what is the best diet for them? I've been feeding mine lettuce an when I let it roam around in its outdoor play pen it eats some grass too. Should I get supplements also?

Josh,

Grass and weeds are best. Mulberry, hibiscus and grape leaves are good too. At the store go for endive, escarole, spring mix, collard greens, turnip and mustard greens, carrot tops, cilantro, etc. Add in an occasional spineless opuntia pad once in a while and some Mazuri and/or ZooMed Grassland tortoise food. Do your best to learn the weeds in your area and which ones are safe to feed. That and grass are really the best thing for them. Look for plantain (the weed, not the fruit), dandelions, sow thistle, mallow, filaree, and a whole lot more.
