Baby sulcata tortoise eating cucumber?

[AleyFdz]

Can a baby sulcata tortoise have a little bit of cucumber? Can it cause diarrhea?

Any so called vegetable containing seeds, is really a fruit. Sulcatas can have a bite of fruit as a treat every so often, but not daily.

Yes they can, but they shouldn't. Cucumber is not very nutritious and it lacks fiber. Better to feed them good stuff instead of filling their stomach with stuff that is not so good. Here is what to feed them:
