    I just became the caretaker of several animals at my local University here in Utah, 4 of those animals include Sulcata and Desert tortoises. They have been eating a primarily produce diet, but I'd definitely like to switch them to a much more varied diet. I am probably over thinking here, but is there any common backyard plants that would be either toxic or harmful in any way to these tortoises?

  • @user-rv2bb1zk7z

    my greek tortoise won't eat anything but lettuce probably because that's all they fed her before I got her (she is about 1 and a half years and I got her 2 days ago)
    I tried to wrap a different plant today and flowers in lettuce and hand feed her but once she is able to smell the other type she will stop eating or even spit back the food if she ate the othe plant it by mistake.. I managed to get her to eat 2 bites of the other plant though and one of the flower.
    idk what else to do.. I'll keep trying the wrapping method and also I will keep trying with different varieties of plants.
    I still dont have access to grass but once I do I'll plant it in her
    enclosure maybe she'll get used to it

And I feed my sulcatas a mix of Mazzuri LS diet mixed in with timothy hay pellets , i soak it in water and server, and i give cactus without the spines on it, This is there diet during the winter, and i let them graze in the yard during the summer.

    Hey Kenan, I am a proud new owner of a Sulcata hatchling! I have been doing a ton of research on what types of grasses or weeds you can feed a sulcata, but I have a question about something you mentioned in your video. You said that you only feed your hatchlings a couple times a week. I do not keep my sulcata hatchling outdoors so he is not on grass and cannot graze freely. How often should I be feeding my sulcata and how much should I expect it to be eating?
