what to feed?

[KiwiSulcataMama89]

I got my hatchling around the beginning of December and he was weighed a few weeks ago at my school. (Vet tech program) He was 50 grams! I'm curious as to what everyone feeds. I take mine outside at least twice a day to get some sunshine and grass and what not. About 2-3x a week he gets moist Mazuri (maybe 2 pellets) weeds, hibiscus, dandelion(cutting back on dandelion) frequently. I have yet to find cactus, but I read someone said to try fiesta. (literally down the road from me, I never thought to try there) *DOH* here's a pic for attention. He met a new friend. My friend has a 15+ year old sulcata <3

Welcome! Those pics that show the adult vs baby size contrast are always fascinating. And a reminder of how long their lives are! Thanks for sharing!!! Check out the Sulcata secton on this forum for a complete Sulcata diet list! I’ve always found answers and options there.
