::I cut up cuttlebone into cubes for my year old sulcata to feed whenever he needs.... can he have to much calcium? He ate over half of the cuttlebone in a day! I special ordered mazuri tort diet from a feed store it should be here in 3 weeks. How much should I feed him a day? he is 7.1 oz or 201 grams. Thanks Thats what I oringinally thought... but others told me to get it and use it daily... i'm confused....

:

:If you do decide to use the mazuri, use it in limited quanities. It has a lot of protein so it will help with pyramiding which is not good. Have you tried feeding him timothy or bermuda hay. Not alfalfa for the same reason as muzuri. Sulcata tortoises come from a arid region so they need a barly any water in their food otherwise they can develop problems.
