Looking for advice on incorporating retail tortoise food into 6 month-old Sulcat (Hatch) diet...
Over the last month or so that I have had Hatch he has had a fairly regular diet of:
2-3 ZooMed Grassland Tortoise food pellets (soaked) + 1/4 Hibiscus leaf or Dandelion greens or Geranium + sliced Nopales (cactus) + various fresh grass sprouts.
This is chopped and mixed into a "salad" that is supplemented with Vitamin D powder 2x weekly.
The constants are:
ZooMed Grassland Tortoise Pellets
Cactus
Fresh Grass Sprouts
The variables (for variety) are:
Dandelion, hibiscus, geranium
Questions:
what are the thoughts on the ZooMed Pellets? I have not seen a lot of discussion about them for baby sulcatas.
I am trying Mazuri next week. Is it better / worse?
Do retail pellets *need* to be a part of the reglar diet?
Thank you!
