Bird of Paradise

That's a stagering grocery bill. Does anyone keep any animals on 'what they can eat on their own' in an outdoor setting? It'd be interesting to see a pounds of tortoise per square foot of graze ratio. It would help to know how big an area one, or a small group can do well with the graze being the sole provision.

Eh it's not too bad. Most the farmers donate it to us. The oyster mushrooms are donated by Buddhists monks that grow them. The leopards and sulcatas I rarely give any grocery greens. But they will eat all the grass down to nothing by this time of year so have to be supplemented august-September.

2.2 leopards are combined weight of 85-97 pounds and have 2500 square feet of grass.
Sulcatas are combined 280 and have 9800 square feet of grass.
