Last week I took JD's advice and planted a food plot of wild bird seed inside my baby Sulcata's outdoor enclosure. A major hit! He is wearing that stuff out! All kinds of little goodies sprouted up and he loves them!

I really want to try this but I am also very paranoid about losing my little guy so I keep the substrate thin enough so if he tries to burrow himself, I can still see the top of his little shell poking out.
I used organic gardening soil and it's about a half inch thick, with some thicker parts. Is that deep enough to get the bird seeds to at least grow a few sprouts here and there?
Thanks for the help and sorry for clogging your thread with my question
