Hi TF,
I was wondering if I could get some advice on improving my 3 month old's diet. I opened another thread on supplementation and I'm following through on Yvonne's advice. I currently have Repti Calcium w/ D3 and I'm going to buy Miner-All for outdoor (figured I wouldn't need the D3).
As for food, the person I bought Nicco from had him purely on Jute leaves http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plants_19.asp?st=true&mode=main&catID=787
I don't have time to look for a consistent source of grass until the weekend, are there any vegetables I can feed him that's a better alternative to jute?
Lamb's lettuce was the only one I found on the tortoise table under the fruits and vegetables section that was "safe to feed", are these ok for sulcatas?

Bermuda is the most readily available grass here. I'm thinking of setting up a section of the garden to replant these. We have a garden that's well maintained but the problem is I have a lot of aquariums and I do my water changes on one end of the garden. I'm scared the nitrates and whatever additives in the aquarium water has seeped to the rest of the area.
Cheers
