Hello my tortoise and turtle friends. I hope all is well. It's been some time since I've come onto the forum. I don't have much of a valid excuse really.
Anyways, yesterday I realized that my sulcata, Dexie (I recently changed the name from Dexter to Dexie as the notice in change of gender formed) had been eating like a champ. Yesterday, I threw out a romaine head lettuce, mazuri, chard, and some weeds, I came back to check on her and it was nowhere to be found. It seemed like she was looking for more food. I knew she could eat a lot, but it finally struck me how much. I've been running out of places that I find safe I find weeds in bulk, so I've been growing my own plants. Currently, I'm growing cactus, aloe Vera, watermelon (for fun), carrots, yellow crooked neck squash, cucumber, summer squash, snapdragons, day lily, and a few weeds that I transferred from the country.
I'll be heading over to check on my tortoise in a jiffy so I'll post updated pictures of my plants, and MAYBE Dexie. Here's a few for now.
