: Hi,finding alot of confusion on bedding just got a baby sulcata read that reptile carpet was good mine was trying to eat it so i tryied sand kept sticking to his feet after his tromp through his water.Then read that alfalfa hay was good then heard it was not good for babies too much fiber.Please help i love this little guy and want what's best.Also a breeder told me that pretty pets tortoise food was great as 80percent of their diet.Thanks alot
Hi,
I like the hay because its edible, affordable to change it often, aids in righting themselves should the get flipped over and they love to burrow in it. Can you tell I like the stuff?
I cant think of a single pelleted food that is actually healthy. They tend to push it b/c of the mark up.
These tortoise require about 70% grasses in the wild. If you can set up a grazing area in your yard that isnt untreated, this would be ideal.
Here is a list of the easier to find healthier choices ok?
(Remember, think variety)
Regularly:
Dandelion, Chicory, Clover, Escarole, Radicchio, Endive, Opuntia Cactus
(despined or smooth) Watercress,Plantain, Chickweed, Other misc. edible
weeds- (not chemically treated) Hibiscus flowers and leaves, Grape leaves,
Mulberry leaves, Sow thistle and Romaine, Orchard and Timothy Hay.
Occasionally: Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Fig leaves, Carrots, Carrot
Tops,Romaine, Red Leaf Lettuce, Turnip Greens, Apples, Collard greens,
Mustard Greens,
Rarely: Kale, Swiss chard, Broccoli, Bokchoy, Iceberg lettuce, Parsley,Beet
Greens, Fruit in general.
*Never* feed Spinach, Cabbage, Green Beans, Or any kind of beans for that
matter.
