    Feeding Sulcata during winter

    Thank you Tom! I will try incorporating it into his food. I had read on here before that it is good, but second guessed giving it to him when my vet recommended against it. They are a fairly tortoise savvy vet, but I did notice that the husbandry sheet they gave us had some old dated sources...

    I was curious if all of these are safe for our sulcata to eat, as I'm not 100% certain what they are. I do know that #6 is some type of hosta- but wanted to double check that it was safe for him to eat. ;) 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.)

    Is this a mulberry tree?

    Hi Tom, our tortoise is a sulcata. I've read that the leaves are good for them. :) Definitely will not be giving him any of the berries though.

    Thank you! I'm definitely no botanist (or plant savvy at all really).. I appreciate the confirmation!
