Hey! Apologies for another post so soon. In my other post Tom said I needed much more variety in my Sulcatas diet.
We live about 80kms from the nearest decent sized town and 200kms to the nearest big city with a wide selection of different stores.
I picked up a couple of different items for my little one to hopefully add more GOOD variety till I can get to the big city and pick up more and better options.
In the picture is the items in the spring mix I picked up, I also picked up a small bundle of spinach, a small bundle of kale, a stalk of bok choy, and a spaghetti squash.
To add fiber I picked up some mixed (alfalfa, and orchard) hay cubes i can soak and sprinkle on top.
Sadly there is no where local to get any kind of tortoise pellet and our pet valu can not bring them in, but they do have a beardie pellet and aquatic turtle pellet.
I asked her breeder what pellet he uses...he uses the zoo med aquatic pellets 2-3 a day.
There is Oxbow Rabbit Pellets that from the ingredients may work?
I have found a place I can get some grass seeds from...wheat, barley, and oat. I will also be ordering the tortoise forage mix from the site Tom recommended, but it will take a little to get here as I am in Canada. They will so take time to grow in the tray to feed able or grazeable heights.
I also found red clover and sweet clover seeds, are both safe? I also found someone selling a fescue and alfalfa mix, but he doeant say the % of each.
The more I read the more there is so much mixed information out there, and the more paranoid I get about her diet and care. I got to see the 2 to 3 year old sulcatas of the breeder (same parents) and they are so pyramided already
