I understood what you meant, no offense taken.

Natural grazing and outdoor housing is a totally different situation. There, they are getting direct UVB lighting, and are eating a diet that is much more natural than grocery bought greens. If you are able to provide this level of husbandry, grazing at will is great. My own sulcata that was adopted to a friend in CA is living this way...and is living the good life as far as Sulcata go.

Indoors with a grocery diet, feeding as much as the tortoise wants is a recipe for disaster, if you ask me.
