I got some desert tortie grazing seeds from CarolinaPetSupply.com and my leopard just loves to eat the baby plants. With a light top soil over the seeds {and plenty of water} they sprout in under a week.

Bestest wishes!

SEED MIX

Tortoise Pasture Seed Mix



A picture sent to us by a customer - he planted our seed mix only days before taking the photo!



Now grow your own tortoises from seed! Why incubate eggs and waste all that time when you can...oh, wait. Never mind. A great pasture seed mix! This is a mixture of seeds specially designed to grow your own tortoise food. Our mix is custom blended several times a year and includes a variety of grasses (including Bermuda which is native to Africa), millets, clovers, mixed greens, and other non-toxic tortoise favorites which vary with each season. Not what you would want to grow a lawn with (especially since we try to put dandelion in when we can), but great eating for your tortoise. The seed mix should be sown onto prepared soil and slightly raked in. Keep well watered until established. Could also be grown in pots or flats if you don't have an outdoor place to grow weeds. We plant these year round here, and should grow year round except where there is snow. Sold in packets or by the pound. One packet will sow about 2-4 sq ft. of space. This seed mix is excellent for all types of tortoises - we also include dandelion seeds when available.

Our seed mix is top quality not pre-bagged foraging mix sold for cattle and deer - we make it ourselves and feed it to our own tortoises.

Never feed your tortoises prepackaged tortoises food like Pretty Pets, ZooMed, or Mazuri - these will lead to health and shell problems!!!!

What if a Sulcata would eat a few of those grazing seeds by mistake,would it be harmful or bad for him/her?
Thanks.

Well, think about it. In Africa, when the plant goes to seed, does the tortoise say, "I guess I'd better not eat this plant because it has gone to seed." I don't mean to be facetious. Tortoises eat seeds all the time. And the seeds you buy from places like turtlestuff.com, or turtlecafe.com, or her on the forum from Spikethebest, etc. are packaged for animals, so they don't have a coating of fertilizers and starters on them. They are just pure, fresh seeds.

I agree with you Cory, I didn't like seeing that and it immediately made me not interested in the rest of their site or in considering buying their products. If they're going to say something like that, that we know is not true, what else are they saying that isn't true???
