is it okay for my sulcata to eat the dry timothy hay i bot at petco i put in the aquarium as its floor?

Yes it's okay but you might wanna get a different substrate for the floor that wont be considered food by you Sulcata. I use COCO Coir for my little one.

Yes its okay for him to eat it, but it not a very good substrate for little ones. How old and how big is your sulcata?

I have never had a problem with it sticking to there food and plus it won't hurt them if they accidently eat a small piece by mistake. My 5 year old use to eat a piece or two whenever I replaced the old with new.
If your worried about that happening, you could have a seperate area to feed your little one in. You can also use Cypress Mulch.

Hay is edible.

Timothy Hay is, in fact, an ideal food.
