Hello everyone! I brought home my first Sulcata tortoise a few days ago, he’s approximately 1 month old. He’s pretty shy getting used to his new enclosure, all temps and humidity is correct and he’s getting his warm water soaks and has pooped twice since I got him. I’m feeding him collard, greens romaine and in the process of getting him introduced to mazuri. My question is what’s the normal amount of food should a hatchling be consuming? I give him a little pile of chopped mixed greens about the size of his shell but he seems to only be eating about a quarter of what I give him. A lot of times he’ll stop eating than I have to pick him up and put him in front of his food and he’ll take a few more bites than go back to burrow or bask, I’m just trying to make sure he’s getting all the food he needs and not starving.
Any Sulcata owners that can give input on this?
