Hello tortoise friends,
as some of you might know: I own three sulcata babies.
They are 9 months old and grow steady and qick. I was thinking about to buy a 4. sulcata baby, and found a breeder who sell some at the same age as mine.
As I asked the breeder how much his tortoise babies weight, he wrote me back : 100 - 160 Grams.
I told him that my babies are all above 300 Grams, and he told me that he feeds hay to his sulcata babies and only few greens.
Now I am confused: I know that hay is good for adult or semi adult sulcata tortoises, but for babies ? I think they need much greens to grow.
What is right and what is wrong ? Can a sulcata baby be healthy when it only get`s hay to eat ?
