Food?

[DAC8671]

Can I give my sulcata cucumber, tomato, peach, kiwi, pear, asparagus, brussel sprouts, turnips, bok choy, radishes?

Of course not all at once and I know fruits are few and far between.

im pretty sure you can,,,just look it up online...but dont feed your tortoise to much fruit

Cucumbers are mostly water with no nutritional content. Only use cucumber if you need to get a tortoise water, that won't drink but will eat.
Tomatoes are fine every once in a while.
Peach, Kiwi and Pear have to much simple sugar in them so not good for your sulcata.
Brussel sprouts, Bok choy and Asparagus should be fed sparingly, no more than once a week.
Root vegetables should be fed sparingly also.

Thanks!!!

I just wanted to try a wider variety of things. I shop at our military commissary and produce is MUCH cheaper than at the store ($0.75 for a large head of Romaine). I always pass up the others that I listed because I was unsure.

I tried looking online for some feeding ideas, but it only gives things that I already know to give. Didn't mention "odd" veges and fruits.

Thanks again for the info!
