grass

My boyfriend and I are getting a Sulcata tortoise soon and have been doing our research and read that theyre diet consists a lot of grazing grass and such but that's a issue for us since we live in Las Vegas and where we currently leave, we dont have grass. So my boyfriend and I thought maybe...

I am a brand new tortoise owner in Anchorage AK. I would like to plant some grass in my tortoise enclosure and need advise on what kind my Red Leg is like to eat that would be healthy. many other advise to get this guy through the winter would be appreciated.

I've read that grass should be a big part of leopard tortoise diet. However, he/she refuses to eat them. I also give him/her some lettuce. Once, I gave some kale and carrots too for a few days. And everyday, I mix the grass with the lettuce (and other vegetables, depends on what vegetables are...

Hi! I've been wanting to plant grass in my enclosure again for Vic, my baby leopard tortoise. He loved having it in his enclosure before, however, after awhile of having it, there were very small bugs flying around the grass, and also flying around Vic and crawling on him. I took the grass out...

We put foam rubber along the lids and added a plexiglass window on top of the chicken wire with a rubber border lining it for heat and moisture retention. It works really well. It's around 6"×2.5"×3" and on wheels for mobility. Grew some grass in it and my 2 year old sulcata seems to be enjoying...

I often see posts saying: I can’t get grass for my tortoise .... grazing is not an option... I can’t grow grass for my tortoise... and so on. I am blessed with a big house and a big yard etc. but I lived in a small apartment before with a dog, cat and a guinea pig. Also now as soon as I put...

When I bought my first Sulcata I read that they were mainly grass eaters. So I just pulled some from our lawn (we do not spray any pesticides). I feed it grass mixed with a spring mixture, but it always avoided the grass. I just got 3 other Sulcatas and they all avoid grass!! So my questions...

So here's the deal. I've read source after source that states that the best thing to do is to just let your sulcata tortoise graze on the grasses in your yard, provided that they are pesticide and chemical free (which mine is). But my yard is fairly heavy in clover, and according to the...

I used to get a mix of seeds online, but the website that i used before is no longer a business sadly. they used custom blends for me while being a repeated customer had my info etc. Since they are no longer a thing, I am having trouble finding a good seed mix for my tortoise that has a nice...

I give my RF a mix of mostly fruits and greens everyday (Romaine, mango, strawberries, prickly pads, etc) with a little vitamin A sprinkled on top of it, even though I give him a reasonable amount he ignores the food and only wants to eat grass. Help me out please, have your RF’s ever don’t...

I wanted to furnish my tortoise's enclosure with some plants. What are some tortoise safe things that I could plant in there? Also, would they try to eat fake plants and would this harm them? Thanks in advance.

So I have 2 baby Sulcatas, they're almost 8 months old. Their diet currently consists of wheatgrass, Bermuda grass hay, and red leaf lettuce. They don't like the hay, I'm thinking because it's not colorful and it's also hard for them to eat, and therefore they don't eat it. I also live in an...

Hello everyone. I have a quick question. I moved into my house about a year ago and have not used any chemicals or fertilizers in my lawn the whole time I've lived here. I do not know if the previous owner used anything or if my neighbors do. My question is, is it safe to let my leopard out to...
