How much food is enough food for two 24 inch Sulcatas? Can I assume that since they have plenty grass left in enclosure they do not need supplementation? Various mixture of grasses and weeds predominantly clover are available ( in louisiana- everything grows fast)and I just can't help supplementing with Cuttlebone, veggies and some fruits.

Without any other food source.....is the fresh grass in my yard enough?

First time tort owner.

Will try to post video or pics. Haven't had much luck. Thanks

Free grazing on grass is preferable and if they are enjoying it....and you can keep it growing fast enough to keep them eating--then yes, however---dropping some seed mixes into their grass would likely be appreciated....and always keep a water source for them....

And I'd cut the fruit out. Their guts can't handle the sugar and this sugar will help cause blooms of internal parasites if already present.
