While not in Florida for some reason our grass here in south central PA is green year round and I'd say a good 60% of his food is grass and weeds from the yard. Even the little one just under 1lb. gets chopped grass in the greens. The problem here is the routine.

This one would stay in his soft cave until 1:00 or he poops OR gets hungry.

He gets a plate when he gets up, we have hibiscus (7 plants now), cactus plants, chips from Will, etc. that are on his first plate but he needs to go out in the AM rather than 1pm-5pm or so and begin with grass. If my wife puts him out he knows that it's eating only. If I take him out early from her office, he wants to walk... "on the road again"... or to the back yard and he doesn't eat while he's walking. He eats after we come back from walking.

I'm amazed that he doesn't have pee or poop "accidents". He poops in the office daily OR the soak very occasionally now and always pees and urates in the tub during the start of the 2nd fill of hot water. This is 95% of the time.

He'll grow out of the grocery thing and that's good because he will eat 4 bok choi and 2 heads of radicchio at a sitting which is close to $5.
That is great that the grass stays green.
