Try to mix up the greens a little more. Go to Tcc web page and check out what you can feed. Throw out the never feed or occasionally feed (except for the spinach) and cycle through those greens if you're limited to the amount you can buy at one time or pick up the Spring green mix. The guys are still small enough that it shouldnt cost you that much to mix it up. The key, Variety.
Also, add a water bowl. Hows the growth so far?

: Hi,
: Its been a long while since I have posted about my 2 sulcatas, Einstine and Newton. It has officialy been 1 yr since they hatched and a week shy of when i bought them. The postal scale i have is no longer adequate to measure them but they are now over a pound. Now I know i have been doing this for a year but have made changes in how I am keeping them. I currently house them in a 40 gallon breeder tank with uva and uvb. I am planning to move them into an outdoor kitty pool for the summer and them plan on building a new enclosure for them before the next winter. I soak them once a week and feed them 1 head of escarole and 1 head of chickory a week. I also have timothy hay in their enclosure for daily munching. Does all this, future and current, sound adequate? Please let me know.

: RIck
: P.S. I have tortoise graze mix which i got from tcc and plan to gorw it this summer. I also have aloe vera plants and the type of cacti that you all have reccomended and they are just starting to grow big enougph for the torts.
: thx again
