rescued Sulcata update

Hi, I posted a few weeks back about the sulcata I rescued from terrible conditions. Here is a happy update. I lowered her temps in the enclosure. It is now 87 under the basking light and the low end is at 75. At night the temperature falls to 72. I discovered a little grocery store that sells dandilion leaves and cactus! She loves these! She now is a little eating machine! And I'm loving every minute of it. She is eating carrots, yellow squash, dandilion leaves, and cactus leaves (dethorned of course). Now, how often should I put vitamans on her food? Also, do I feed her everyday? My boxies only eat when they are hungry, will she be the same way? Right now I'm giving her about a hand full of food a day, and she eats it all by the end of the day. Remember she is only a tiny bit bigger than an adult box turtle. (about 5 1/2 inches long) Thank to all for your help. Dawn
