I have a baby sulcata (how much to feed?)

[knc]

HI all, I thought this might be the place to ask, since I too have a baby sulcata. I have read all the threads I could get my hands on and other websites too. I now feel very comfortable with what to feed, but I would love it if someone could tell me how much and how often. It will be helpful for this new parent too I think. Sorry if I somehow missed this information in all the wonderful information given. My baby loves to eat, eat, eat. I am currently giving 'her' a mix of grass clippings, kale and green lettuce. But I am scared I am giving too much. I have read that you can overfeed. thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

In my opinion, if the tortoise has a big enough space so he can get plenty of exercise, you can't overfeed him. I offer a little bit more than he cleans up every day.

I like to free feed the right foods, in the right enclosure, with the right conditions. If all of the above is followed, let them eat as much as they want, every day.
