: Hi Lisa,
: when you say fresh clippings do you mean grasses?
: I would add some variety to his diet, the grass is great but he also needs some wetter foods.
: Dandelions, Romaine, Endive, Escarole, a little grated yellow squash, carrot or yam every few days.

: EJ do you see that :)

: Although sulcatas need a diet high in fiber and grasses provide that, for a small sulcata i'd add wetter foods daily, mixing the grass clippings in with the greens.

: Make sure he has a water dish with clean water always available. I use a sunny delight lid for little Hoku, who drinks from it daily.
: Also soak him for around 5-10 minutes every 2-3 days,or at least twice a week in very shallow lukewarm water. The water should only reach the bottom of his chin.

: As he gets bigger you can soak less and feed a diet higher in grass content.
: Hope this helps,
: Terry.
