Baby Sulcata finally feeding on grasses only!

[david_himself]

Finally was able to switch my few month old sulcata over to mainly grasses vs. only lettuce from the previous owner. Took about a week but finally quit ignoring it and started eating it. Slowly integrated different grasses into different lettuces so he wouldn't keep eating the same thing until I gave him only grass. Took a while but it worked and will hopefully continue eating like this. Here's a few pics of him living a happy healthy lifestyle.

Cool. It's very common for tortoises to like something edible so much that they will ignore everything else until it is offered to them again. Hunger will almost always fix that.

Make sure you keep his/her diet switched up. It's great that they are enjoying grass this early off and you didn't have any problems, but they need a WIDE varied diet to stay as healthy as they are.

Love the photos of him eating the dandelion (that's good nutrition too!). He's off to a great start! Great job!

Wow. You got it done pretty quickly. Now keep adding all sorts of other new and good stuff too. Your on a roll...
