A few questions about feeding my 80lb sulcata tortoise:
Can I over feed him? He seems to eat everything I put in front of him. I'm worried maybe i'm not feeding him enough, and he's starving...
I feed him a few collard green leaves a day and a huge bunch of grass and weed cuttings from my front yard (grass equals the amount of everything else. 50% of everything else offered).
Aside from that I mix in and feed spinich, arugula, mustard greens, sometimes zucchini and squash, bok choy, timothy and alfalfa hay, zoomed pellets soaked in water with shredded carrots and calcium (once a week for this one), cactus leaves and aloe plan leaves.
Some other foods to note:
I let him have a taste of broccoli for the first time this week. Not to much because I read its not good in large amounts. Sometimes he will get a sliver of sweet potato. Oak tree leaves on occasion.
What do I need to add/subtract from this diet and how much should I be offering? The sulcata diet page has a huge list of things i've never heard of, so where I could find them will also help. Thanks.
