is there a thread on here already that discusses growing grasses indoors for sulcatas? i'm interested in starting to grow some grasses for my little guy to eat AND to spruce up his habitat more.
BUT - first off, my sulcata is still a baby (unknown age - pet store claims he's 6 months now - but looks much younger). so - is it even necessary to have grasses for him yet. he eats great on spring mix and i've just started adding a little mazuri to his diet. also i do the calcium/d3.
IF he's old enough for some yet, i was thinking i'd get some growing and then add to the inside of his enclosure to add some life to it. i'll attach a photo of his present enclosure, but i had to remove the log because he tried to climb it recently and ended up spending some time on his back. so, that came out immediately. just wondering what plants i can add to his enclosure that he can munch on.
i also just purchased a warm air humidifier that we are working on setting up with tubing to help keep things moist while we are at work all day. my tank is 55 gallon.
also - i have a lot more substrate (coco coir) in here now than the photo shows. i made it twice as deep so i could raise him up a little closer to the bulbs on top of the cage. and the bark stuff is gone. ha! hmmm... i guess i better take an updated photo. didn't realize it looked so different now. i have that cool mossy stuff on top of the box now to so you can't even see that blue lid anymore. it's sure improved since that photo. lol
