Mr. Spock

[Tortimomoftx]

Mr. Spoke, our new Sulcata, arrived a few days after the passing of Leonard Nemoy, hence the name. Mr. Spoke is a hatchling, 4"? Well, almost. He is active, eating and last night burrowed under the Orchard Grass. I was so excited to see him burrowed under the grass. Instincts in working order. The temp in his big plastic container hovers around 86, one end higher with the orchard grass and the other end cooler with the soaked coco coir. The humidity is around 68. I covered the entire container with aluminum foil.

How much should I feed him? Do I feed him every day? He is getting Bermuda, dandelion leaves and small flower buds, and hibiscus leaves. I also have paddle cactus.

feed him a good sized handful of food to him everyday. are you using hay as part of the substrate?

Yes, the orchard hay is substrate on one end of the container.

orchard hay is really dry and if it gets a little wet it will get moldy.
