Am I overfeeding my Sulcata tortoise ? (Roughly a year old , 6 lbs) Should I cut off food for some days ? I give the tortoise a decent proportion of food for example 2-3 pellets of Original Mazuri and 3-4 ZooMed Grassland pellets. Plus 20% greens/squash
Should I add more variety ? Suggestions ?
This goes for my bearded dragon as well.

I would feed my sulcata more like you're feeding your bearded dragon, minus the carrots.

My feeding schedule with Darwin:

Monday - mixed kibble on greens

Tuesday - fruit and veg on greens

Wednesday - hibiscus, seaweed, freeze dried food, silkworm pupae

Thursday - mixed kibble on greens

Friday - salmon or liver or egg on greens

Saturday - fruit and veg on greens

Sunday - hibiscus, seaweed, freeze dried food, silkworm pupae

Once or twice a week, I'll rehydrate one of his meals with a dash of both herptivite and Repashy superglue mixed in the warm water

Yes, initially in the zilla veggie mix ...

But then once I saw how much he enjoys them, I bought some more ...

That's also where I get the seaweed and hibiscus ...
