Hi,
We have owned our Sulcata Sheldon now for almost three weeks. He is already growing and gaining weight! Yeah! Today we were finally able to locate 100% organic grass hay for his winter enclosure which is currently being built. He came running the minute he saw where the bales were placed outside. Cute to watch at first...then I got concerned.
He started eating, and eating and eating......my concern is: can he over eat and make himself sick? I don't know if I should place a fencing around it to try to keep him away from it???? He ate for approx 10 minutes and finally left-but this was after a full day of grazing in the backyard. He will normally graze all day long without any additional food. I have been placing grass hay in his borough for bedding and he will munch on it over time and then I add some more.....
I don't want him to get sick. I will be home most of the day tomorrow and can keep a close eye on him. I know his routine now and am able to find him somewhere in the yard. Should I allow him to eat from the bales as he wants or block them off?
Thanks,
Desiree
