What can sulcatas eat

[Samantha hoffman]

I know there not allowed to eat broccoli or coliflower. But can they eat the leaves off of planets like that or what other leaves of plants can they eat

When I first got my boy I fed him romaine lettuce for the first year or so because that's what the pet store said to do. I later learned that this is not the healthiest for him and that romaine should be used as an occasional treat such as pumpkin or fruit.

I now feed him (six years and a butt ton of mistakes and learning experiences later) a mixture of kale, fresh grass from outside, and zoo med natural grassland tortoise food. There is a guy in my town who breeds sulcatas and he feeds them heaps of the zoomed, they love it and it has a large variety of greens in the mixture.

I hope this helps: http://animals.mom.me/approved-foods-sulcata-tortoises-4488.html http://animals.mom.me/approved-foods-sulcata-tortoises-4488.html

There is a lot of debate on what to/not to feed a sulcata but I hope this helped!

Here is a great thread to read about how to care for and feed a young sulcata.

Check out the This is Nadine thread. I just posted her diet that she has eaten so far. Probably all she needs to be complete although I intend to add to it.
