So I seen somewhere recently that an updated diet sheet for sulcatas doesnt include timothy hay which happens to be the hay that I found readily available and bought in bulk. It said to feed orchard grass. Sorry I was falling asleep reading it so I dont remember what site. Is this true?

That was probably me. Timothy hay is too stemmy. The smaller the tortoise, the more of a problem this is. I prefer orchard grass hay or Bermuda hay. If you have a large sucata that is already eating Timothy, then stick with it if you want to.

Don't think it was on here but either way thankyou. I think I'll get some different ones to mix it up and give more variety now that I've put more thought into it.
