I'm getting a baby sulcata tortoise tomorrow and s/he has mainly been fed mazuri tortoise diet with some cactus and other greens, but I mainly want its diet to be grasses and hay with the occasional greens and the rare treat of fruit. Will it be hard to switch him/ her over to grasses and hay?
Since the babies are so small would feeding them be different from an adult?
I've been growing my own grasses and flowers such as fescue, timothy grass, clover, and dandelions. Does this sound okay?
Here is list of the foods I want to stick with until I can let him or her out in the yard:
Timothy hay
Dandelions
Clover
Red fescue
Timothy grass
Collard greens
Endive
Shredded carrot (in moderation)
cactus pads
Occasionally squash or pumpkin (whatever is available in my garden)
Does this list sound okay? Any recommendations?
