What all can baby sulcatas eat....
Mine are on a diet of spring greens, but i want to know what to feed them to ensure minimal pyramidding?
And does anybody know the amount of food they should be given? Ive read a quarter cup each, which seems to be working.

I was looking for the list of threads Tom posted. I think they would be a help to you. Maybe someone a little more computer savvy than I am will come along.

My Gupta, Sulcata hatchling, loves the organic seed mix that I grow in his cage that I get from www.sulcatafood.com
He eats it and eats it and eats it. It takes less than a week to grow big and lush.
the seed mix is organic gold wheat grass, bahia grass, timothy grass, oat grass, rye grass, rapina, dandelion, bermuda grass, chicory, durana clover plus three other clover varieties, radish greens, buckwheat, and variety of spring mix greens.
and actual people respond to your emails and questions, they gave me advice on how to grow it and everything. Fast shipping too.
I normal don't advertise like this but my Gupta loved that stuff so much
I believe its because they grass it organic and has more taste and nutrients than store ought non organic greens that are sprayed with pesticides and full of preservatives
A person on this forum actually recommended sulcatafood.com to me, if you search sulcatafood.com on the forum lots of threads will pop up.
here is a picture of him in it and eating it

Diet has very little to do with pyramiding. There is a whole paragraph on food in the second link that Brinn posted for you. You might find the rest of the info interesting too. Hydration and humidity is the key to pyramiding prevention.

I just put out a big pile of food on their indoor days. If they eat it all up right away, I'll feed them some more in the afternoon. On outdoor days they just graze as much as they want on fresh grass, weeds and some leafy greens that I planted in their pens.
