I got it on Amazon. I'm picking the corn out, and just giving it to Sheldon, one time a week for a treat.

I would not use that for a sulcata. It isn’t the best.
I would use Arcadia Optimised52 soaked and mixed with a variety of greens and keep his diet varied and also use a few times a week some reptivite w vitamin D

OP is a very small place from the looks of it, so I imagine there aren’t a lot of options. With the corn removed, and perhaps some of the carrot, it is a decent occasional food, everything else is fine in moderation and there isn’t much duplication. There isn’t anything here my Russian doesn’t get now and then.
You do want to move your sulcata to a grass based diet soon though; check the sulcata-specific subreddit for help as to where to find appropriate grasses near you and then work them into the diet.
There is nothing wrong with using pelleted food as a supplement, but a full-size sulcata won’t make it long on only pellet food, they eat too much!

Hello! Hope you don’t mind me bringing this up, but looking at the photo, baby still appears to be in an open top? Pyramiding may worsen with that kind of housing, don’t suppose you’ve figured out a topper? I left some ideas and links in your previous thread in response #8
Top soil
I know a couple people on here said Ace has it I don't have an Ace. Out where I live, I went to Lowe's. I went to buy Martin. Nobody has organic topsoil. Can I just get the Zilla stuff to mix with the coconut stuff?

He goes out everyday for 6 hrs in his outdoor enclosure. He is fed fresh greens,hay and dandelion greens everyday. Once a week he gets cactus and juvenile mazuri pellets. In picture he just got done eating his calcium.
