I own a 17 yr. old Sulcata. He is healthy and weighs 108 lbs and is 28 inches across at the plastron. The reptile vet at UC Davis vet med clinic said that a diet of about 75% grass or grass hay (not alfalfa) with about 25% fresh vegetables and an occasional fruit treat is correct. Sulcatas prefer the taste of fresh vegetables but a diet that is too high in those can lead to digestive problems and problems with calcium uptake and shell malformation. Our tortoise grazes in our grassy backyard.
