    Re: Sulcata Concerns

    With a hatchling, the hay - espcecially the old dried out stuff, probably wont' be something it will eat much of. A full grown tort will eat it (hopefully), but with hatchlings, I'd stick with leafy greens and green grasses and weeds. No veggies other than a little pumpkin or squash about once a month. But spring mix salad from the store is good. Then mix in some other greens like collards and mustards. Stay away from things like tomoatoes, carrots (a bit here and there OK), beans, and other fruits and veggies.

    Mine live mostly on grass and weeds in my yard.

    Read the links provided and focus on the care and feeding sections dedicated to hatchlings for now.

    Best of luck!
