We just finished the fence/gate for our Sulcata enclosure (Ended up being just over 400 sq. ft. Pano photo included). We will be building the heated house next (Thanks, @Tom for the plans for the single tortoise pen that we'll be using). But first, we want to add some grass or weeds to the ground so it can start taking root and establishing before the Sulcata comes. We want to add sod or seed to establish a grazing ground for the tortoise inside the pen. (And we plan to also open the gate daily to allow the tortoise to graze on the rest of our yard as well.) Back to the enclosure: Our first idea is to put down some sod, and continue to add some kind of seed to it every week or so to replenish it. Is this practical? What is the best type of sod and seed combination to use? Any ideas to keep grass going with the sulcata active? (Sulcata will be an adult size) Also, we have considered making a trash can burrow with part of the grass growing over the top. Has anyone found this to be successful or useful in addition to the heated house? Thanks!
