Description
Baby sulcata tortoise tortoises can make fascinating pets, but their diet needs to be managed carefully to keep them healthy.
🥬 Core Diet
- Grasses & Hay: Their staple food. Bermuda grass, orchard grass, and timothy hay are excellent choices.
- Leafy Greens: Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, dandelion greens.
- Weeds & Safe Plants: Clover, hibiscus leaves, mulberry leaves, and edible weeds.
🚫 Foods to Avoid
- High-protein foods: Dog/cat food, beans, peas, or meat — these can cause kidney and shell problems.
- Fruits: Only very occasionally (like a small piece of strawberry or apple). Too much sugar upsets their digestion.
- Spinach, kale, broccoli: Contain compounds that can interfere with calcium absorption if fed often.
💧 Hydration
- Provide fresh water daily in a shallow dish.
- Allow regular soaking (especially for young tortoises) to prevent dehydration.
🦴 Supplements
- Calcium powder (without phosphorus) sprinkled lightly on food a few times per week helps maintain strong shell and bone growth.
Would you like me to put together a weekly feeding plan for a pet sulcata tortoise, showing what to give each day for balance?
