My baby sulcata will only eat spring greens and dandelion leaves sprinkled with his d3 calcium. Won't eat the tortoise pellets at all. Is this okay? I soak him twice a day with sweet potato baby food so he gets nutrients is this enough? Help new worried mommy!!!

Yes and no. I would offer a larger variety of greens. Weeds are favorites. If he doesn't eat the pellets that's fine. I would only use the calcium 2-3x a week and put a cuttlebone in.
No need to soak with anything other than warm water for 15-30 mins. Twice a day is fine.

Thank You so much all of this information is incredibly helpful!
You are welcome. You can't go wrong with those care sheets. However if something doesn't make sense just ask, everyone is very helpful.
Great to hear that. Post some pics of his enclosure and we can help you if you would like.
