Hi everyone. Sadly, When I came home today, my second and last sulcata baby was flipped on his back and unresponsive(dead). I had just bought him from Tortoise Supply about 3 weeks ago. 2 months ago my first sulcata baby was dead. He would not eat and was very lethargic. Now, my only tortoise left is my leopard tortoise. Fortunately, he is very active and healthy, but he himself is very light. The thing that I realize I am messing up is the food. Everything else is mastered and perfect. I can't seem to find a food that I can feed everyday that is easy to get ready. Something that I can throw in there enclosure and have them eat it and get "fattened up." My mazuri tortoise diet just came in a couple of days ago. I am starting to feed that and grassland tortoise food with romaine lettuce. The problem with the lettuce is that it is almost like eating water. I need something that will make the tort grow. If I am successful with this last tortoise, I will buy another sulcata soon. Please help. Thanks
