Could I feed my tortoise fountain grass plants ?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

thank you ;)

[@11bravo1789]

Whats the type of cactus you have for them?

[@rickrivera2734]

I have several succulents. I don't have the spineless ones you have. Can I feed black rose of Texas succulents?

[@misseverything6580]

how big are 5 month od baby sucata torties usually are

[@wafaal3lyani370]

How many times should I feed my wild turtle it’s like the palm of hand size

[@justineleffew5288]

How often are they fed? 👍🏽

[@rickrivera2734]

Hi. Im a new owner of a large sulcata male. I live in Northern California. Can I buy 6 or more of your spineless cactus leaves to start my own plants? Thanks Rick

[@cindyfoster493]

Can you feed baby cicadas tortoises kale

[@jus3472]

where can i get affordable food for them?

[@nonebusiness348]

Do cactus need to remove thorns before feeding the tortoise ?

[@familynava4316]

What type of grass is that on the ground?

[@bigblue8986]

Does that spineless cactus still have tiny horns. Does it hurt the tortoise if they get one like on their tongue?

[@graciejean5021]

what grasses and hays would you recommend for a hatchling sulcata

[@MrTeCaToWn209]

I have dogs and everything else in my yard so I don’t feed my sulcata grass from outside , so I use organic wheat grass and he loves it .

[@redefv]

My Sulcata's are so picky. They eat grass which is great. I planted heaps of Hibiscus and they won't touch it.

[@lsmonster]

How are they doing now?

[@braynhagenmomma]

All of them

[@octaviopruneda3895]

Great video, has the forest hingeback tortoise eaten yet?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Octavio Pruneda yes he ate some romaine and he also ate some squash I tried feeding him mazuri today but he wasn’t very interested I’m trying again tmrw and I’m getting him some worms as well

[@octaviopruneda3895]

Shadow’s Reptiles awesome keep up the great work👍🏻

Octavio Pruneda thank you 🙌🙌

What can I feed my tortoise on the daily besides hay and grass?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Strawberry & Banana you should keep everything varied but you can feed the hibiscus and opuntia Cactus

[@juca1658]

Dandelion greens

[@sarahbowen9686]

I just recently got a young Sulcata tortoise from a friend and I’ve had him for about 2 days now and haven’t been able to get him to eat anything. He’s about the size of my palm so he’s still small but I’ve tried spring mixes and the dry food pellets he provided but he just doesn’t seem interested in anything? Is this something o should be concerned about or what recommendations could you give me as I’ve never owned a tortoise before? He seems really healthy and is full of life. Just doesn’t want to eat for some reason?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

[@MrMoneyBlowin]

Can you give update? Do you still have it or did it die? If it survived what did he eat to start eating?

[@melostrich]

I dont have a sulcata but im planning

[@AmatSaKaL]

Serious question bro. Do your tortoises eat the dog poop?

[@josephsarmiento7537]

How long does it take for a sulcata. Tortoise to grow from a baby?

[@javiv]

about 7 years

[@johannsales2073]

Does shedding includes their nails during the process in cases of sulcata hatchlings? Thanks!

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Johann Sales no their nails shouldn’t fall off

[@johannsales2073]

The rightmost nail of my sulcata hatchling seems to be dislocated and is about to fall off. No signs of pain whenever in contact. What should be done about this prob? Thank you!

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Johann Sales well it could’ve been just an accident and it could’ve hurt it’s nail and that’s fine in that case it will heal and nothings wrong but it could be sick and loosing them if you see that it’s not active and not eating like normal you’ll have to take it to the vet

[@johannsales2073]

He's well and active, has good appetite. I can't tell clearly why he had such accident. Been checking his enclosure to see how did he come up to this kind of situation. Anyways, thank you for the advise!

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Johann Sales no problem :)

[@cynthiaalvarez5121]

Had a question is it okay to give them repti calcium with D3 powder from zoo med 3 times a week I have two Sulcata’s there 6 months I give them one tea spoon full and spread it on romain . Kale . Spinach . Green mustard..... a lot more greens but is it okay for me to give it to them 3 times a week a tea spoon full? Because there so picky they don’t like the pallets or tortoise re cal colorful pallets they won’t eat it so am giving them the calcium powder on there greens and they do eat it because of there greens.. will they be okay with what am doing

[@ShadowsReptiles]

CYNTHIA ALVAREZ CRIS CYBORG THE TRUTH CHAMPION what Johnny Tortoise said is correct calcium with d3 is good 2-3 times a week but they can overdose on d3 so I recommend using it only if they’re inside and not getting natural sunlight

[@cynthiaalvarez5121]

Johnny Tortoise thank you and shadow reptiles for the answer I also subscribed to your channel! Johnny

[@ShadowsReptiles]

CYNTHIA ALVAREZ CRIS CYBORG THE TRUTH CHAMPION no problem 😁😁

[@therat6946]

@@Johnnnny223 so what can they eat that is vegetables

[@roxannerodriguez7075]

@@ShadowsReptiles so if we have a young sulcata tortoise, who stays inside- without natural sunlight, should we feed her more of the darker greens?

[@alfonzinaboonzaier839]

I feed Cugumber tomotoes cabbageges salaleds

[@tlc6203]

Can they eat wheatgrass?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

I don’t have any experience with wheat grass

[@perfectstorm7518]

Iceberg is more for hydration not romaine. Romaine is nutrient rich for tortoises. Because they’re able to extract a lot from very little romaine is quite nutritious for them. Better for grasses and hays for majority

[@anavalentinaparrajuarez3533]

Hi i have a year old sulcata but its just 2 inches long its pretty small, i used to feed her only with lettuce but now i feed her with grass, do you think she will be ok? What else can i do for her to grow? I have seen videos of one year sulcata and theyre so much bigger, pls help me

[@rhombifer566]

Very simple in the summer time grass and weeds and in the wintertime Missouri and little Romain. Problem solved.

[@bfoxsakhumzi8737]

My one I give spinach and green veg he don't eat. Sleep hole day 😴 I am worried about him 😞

[@chrisrauscher4277]

The best food/plant you could possibly feed them is elephant grass from their native area

[@lionsden5123]

Make sure your plants have their own enclosure, or are growing on the outside of the tortoise enclosure, lest they will destroy the plants.

Put your mulberry in a large pot. All my plants are potted. 😆
