I have a baby leopard tort, who actually seems to thrive around more agressive sulcatas. When he is alone he eats less, when he is with the sulcatas he pigs out. Be careful if the sulcata dominates the food bowl though, if this is the case trying using 2 or more food bowls. I have found with grazing tortoises adding several small food bowls works better than just one. If you think about it in nature the tortoise would be likely to move from plant to plant, not getting all his food in one place.

Thanks
Justin
