Anyone know where I can get seeds for grass and dandelions and other weed type plants for my sulcata so I can grow them?

I get mine from Carolina Pet Supply. They have a couple of nice mixes that grow really fast.
I got grass seeds from a local feedstore. Super cheap and you can choose if you want certain types of grass in one mix, or just one. They told me it wouldn't even weigh so I got it for free. Otherwise, I've gotten my Italian dandelions, tortoise grazing mix, Russian seed mix (broad leaves), clovers, etc from tortoisesupply. It grows really fast for me.

Do not buy from Carolina pet supply! Just recently I had to file a fraud claim with my bank they charged me and never shipped the seed and closed my "account " on their page so I couldn't even see the order status, luckily my bank has a great fraud department and got me a full refund, now USAA officially qualifies them as a fraudulent website. There are a couple of people from the forum they sell seed as well, you should try http://www.tortoisesupply.com/SeedMixes or someone that won't steal your money. He is a forum member and has a great reputation around here. Again I just want to urge you against using Carolina pet supply but it's up to you. You can look up the vendor review forum and you will see the complaints against them and the great reviews for some of the others.

Hi Dean, I checked out this website. It looks WONDERFUL! What are some favs that you've ordered from them?
Tractor supply has something called magic mix or something like that. It's for deer but has all the same stuff in it Its like $12 for q big bag. Tortoise supply is also a great place, Tyler is good people.

I buy my seed mix for my Sulcata and my Cherryhead tortoises from:
http://www.sulcatafood.com/Seeds.html
They are last in the refrigerator and freezer for a long time and also grow great.
I have ordered from Carolina Pet Supply many times and have never had a problem. I have plants growing right now from their seed mix. Another option is http://www.arizonatortoisecompound.com/Tortoise-Seed-Mixes/
