Yes hay is very good for tortoises it is just like you most baby torts won't eat it. You can feed it every day just not by itself. You can even grow it in the enclosure so it can graze. Or use it as substrate in a small part of the enclosure and don't moisten it if your not growing it because mold will grow easier but it won't when it is planted.

Well I have a Leopard but the care is pretty much the same hay grass and weeds are the best things they can eat especially when mixed. Pumpkin wont do any thing if you give a little to you sulcata once a week.
