No, not as a regular part of their diet. Tortoises can't handle the sugars in fruit.. If you wanted to give it to it once a month, that would not be bad, but no more than that.

I've had many email conversations with the Sulcata breeder I purchased from in Vegas, combine those emails with helpful support from this forum and individual online research...the rules appear to be

1)Pretty much zero fruits (because of sugar)
2)The more bland the better haha

Remember, Sulcata's originally come from the African desert, would you find Kiwi in a desert? Not wanting to be a smart ***, this is actually what I ask myself before each new food trial.
