My name is Shanna. I just acquired a 6-8 month old Sulcata. He seems very sweet. The lady I got him from was feeding him Zoomed Natural Grassland Tortoise Food and water. He has not touched it since I brought him home, but I put him outside and he ate clover yesterday. He drinks and I have soaked him in warm water approx. 20 minutes, then he goes to sleep all limbs spread out. I would appreciate some feedback, I am a little nervous (first tortoise). Thank You.

Welcome.
Welcome to TFO Shanna I love it too when my torties sleep like that!!
Hi Shanna:
Welcome to the forum!!
It takes a week or two for a tortoise to acclimate to new surroundings. He should perk up and eat more, be more active in a few days.

Welcome. The zoomed grassland is good for them but they generally won't eat it alone at that age. Try feeding some dark leafy greens like endive, escarole, turnip greens, then sprinkle soaked zoomed grassland on top.
Welcome to the forum I am sure you will learn all there is to know on tortoises on this forum I agree with the others for the diet.
