Growing food!

[sabnic]

I recently read a thread that tom sent me. It had websites and lists of good you could grow to feed your torts. I live in pa, so this would be very helpful for the winter months. Any suggestions on what is the best to grow for your tort? I have an African sulcata. And I don't have much of a green thumb so plants that are hard to grow, not for me.

Thanks in advance!

I think I am confused? P) ...did you say Tom sent you a good link that offers info on what to grow for the species you have????

I'm sure any of the plants shown on the links you received from Tom would be good. You can sow the seeds in three or four different kitty litter pans and rotate them in and out of the tortoise habitat. Wheat grass is pretty easy to grow indoors. Or you can buy the "cat grass" that the pet stores sell. I use a lot of red-leaf lettuce and turnip greens because they grow easily.

Sabnic, you will become a better gardener, LOL! Very easy ... good organic potting soil with no fertilzers added, right light, water, enjoy ... watch sulcata eat it all up. Repeat. Therapy! : )
