Growing grass in setup

[Darth_shuffles]

Anywhere that I can go to buy organic grass seed? My juvenile sulcata is about the size of a baseball, and is eating his food and cuttlebone as if he’s about to have a growth spurt, and I’m about to move him out of the 20 long and into a forty until he requires an alternative to that, but I’m having a great deal of success with the wheatgrass planted under his mvb and I’m looking to more or less plant some grass seed in a portion of his 40 gallon so he gets a better idea of where he is to look for food once he is bigger (right now I have to clip his grass because he struggles breaking them off himself).

Bottom line the question is; where can I find some hardy warm climate grass seed that will withstand the mvb heat and be edible from first growth as in like organic seed?

Grow your grass in shallow trays outside the enclosure. Make a hole in the substrate to perfectly fit the trays. Use one tray at a time and remove it as it gets eaten down. Rotate in a new tray as needed and let the other ones recover.

If you plant seeds in there it won't survive. It will be trampled or eaten.

A 20 is too small for any age sulcata. A 40 is the minimum to start a tiny baby in. At baseball size, they need something MUCH bigger. Check these out:

The best grass seed I've found is linked in that last thread.
