I got my two baby sulcata tortoises Bumblebee and Tiger and I want to switch up what they've been eating. They ate romane lettuce, endive, Timothy grass, and minced cactus pads this week sprinkled with just a little calcium powder.
I have a couple lists of veggies, grasses, and treats that I am questioning some of. If anything needs to be changed or shouldn't be fed let me know! Also I am not going to feed the same thing every week I am going to go with 3 veggies one week then pick another 3 for the next week and so forth. I want them to have a wide variety of foods to optimize nutrition intake.
Vegetables:
Bok choy
Endive
Romane lettuce (I want to only feed this occasionally since it is a filler)
Collard greens
Mustard greens
Cactus pads
Turnip greens
Arugula
Escarole
Chicory
Grated sweet potato
Water cress
Grasses and flowers:
Buffalo grass
Bermuda grass
Orchard grass
Arizona fescue
Dandelions
Hibiscus
Geranium
Grape leaves
Treats (I will only feed in moderation, maybe a piece or two every other month or when it is available)
Squash
Pumpkin
Cantaloupe
Cucumber
Kale
Strawberries
Rose petals
Bell pepper
Tomatoe
Banana
Shredded carrot
Apple
Blueberries
Does this sound like a good mix to you guys?
