Quick question about Sulcata and cucumber leaves

[LaRue]

I know from Tom that squash leaves are ok to feed; Can I feed everyday, or more of a treat? I have a ton of it in my garden (not just cucumber). Yesterday I feed Rocky a small cucumber leaf, and he eagerly ate the whole thing. Not something we really see with him. However, with all the feeding problems I've been having with him, I don't want to create any new ones. Thanks for any info.

The only thing that I would use daily with sulcatas is grass or grass hay for older ones. Variety is important. If you mix some cucumber leaves daily with a bunch of other stuff, I think that would be okay. Also, since the squash leaves are so seasonal, I say feed 'em while you got 'em.

Ok thanks. Knowing how big he will get its important I don't mess up his instinct to graze on grass. I have around an acre fenced that he can enjoy as he gets bigger. Right now I mow it, I'd love some help.

Rocky sure does love it!

Wow Rocky is a beauty. And loves his feed!
