#2065742 Susansheila View Profile	New sulcata I got a sulcata this past April and it’s about 4" in length. I would like to know what others feed theirs and what type of bedding they’re on. I want to make sure I properly take care of this little guy. Thanks!

They will give you a lot of great info on feeding and housing. I use 70/30 organic/play sand for mine. Some people use coir/play sand or cypress mulch. keep part of it moist and make it deep enough to borrow in. As for feeding they should be mostly eating grasses, grass hay, edible weeds and leaves, edible flowers. But you can aslo feed green leafy veggies such as spring mix, endive, collard greens, turnip greens and such things like that. Don’t feed to much spinach or fruit if any. Don’t feed avocado, rhubarb (poisonous) or iceberg lettuce (no nutrition). There’s a few other threads on here you can scroll down and look through that have some info on them as well. There is a long feeding list on those sights. no spaces www. africantortoise .com http://www. sulcata-station. org/basics.html
