So I made an investment in this baby sulcata for my science classroom. I have researched on the internet and have found a lot of information, but many of the ideas conflict. I am looking for answers on substrate, food, and vitamin supplement.
I currently have the little guy/gal on a substrate of alfalfa pellets. There is lots of conflicting advice on that subject, from soil/hay mixture, to coconut husk, to the alfalfa. Are these just opinions or is there a definitive answer that is best? Then there is the food issue. Fresh greens as a baby? Grasses and hay? What to do?? Add calcium daily? Soak daily? Soak in baby food/water? I dont want to do anything that would jeopardize this little things well being. Any thoughts on how to sort out the information? I currently have him/her in a low profile aquarium, heated on one end with uv light. What is the best habitat to build? He/she is the size of a medium orange. Does it need something to burrow in? Need lots of humidity at this age?
