hi everyone,
I feed my baby sulcata. Organic spring mix, collards, mustard greens, grass clippings, clover, a variety of weeds, muscadine grape leaves. He eats well but I'm concerned because he will not eat the commercial pellet foods. I have mazuri pellets along with a bag of tortoise pellets the breeder gave me. This morning I had the idea to crush it up with a meat tenderizer and mix it with his salad. I will see if that helps.
Just wondering if I should stress over it or not? I only offer the pellets in the morning feed, then in the afternoons he gets a salad for weeds and grass.
I try to mix things up with the greens and weeds so he doesn't develop a favorite, but try to feed grass always because he isn't to crazy about it yet.
Also I read Toms post on sulcata diet. Actually I've read so much they run together lol. I was curious if anyone knew a good book for plant identification. I'd be lucky to make a phone call on the trails around the house, so my smart phone is of no use in the woods. I would just like a go to book for my bag. Thanks
