Baby Sulcata Diet

[CharlieScene18]

Hello Tortoise Forum! I am completely new to tortoises and I have 2 Baby Sulcatas each 2 months old. I have been feeding them some Romaine Lettuce and giving them some pieces of grass and chopped Timothy hay from carolinapetsupply.com. I usually add a calcium and vitamin supplement that I put on their lettuce. However I don't feel this is a good enough diet for my baby tortoises and I was wondering what you recommend I feed them. Any help would be great thanks!

Also, they will do much better living separately. They don't like sharing, and a pair is about worse case scenario.

Add a third baby...ASAP! Believe me...the only thing better than one tortoise...is three!

Second...forget the lettuce...complete waste!

Third...check out these two links...they've proven invaluable to me...and apparently to the fifteen thousand or so that have used them!

I am adding a third Sulcata! I am going to purchase a third one from a local let shop. Up until now in the enclosure I have them in I have not seen any problems with them living together. They always hide in the same hide spot I provided for them and always eat together as well. They even sleep right next to each other at night! They seem to get along pretty well and I think adding a third tortoise will be perfect! I'll just have to get a bigger enclosure once they get a little bigger. And thank you for the help!
