    🌿 What Do Sulcata Tortoises Eat?

    These guys are natural grazers, built for tough environments. That means they thrive on a high-fiber, low-protein, calcium-rich diet.

    Staple Diet:

    • Orchard grass

    • Timothy hay

    • Bermuda grass

    • Dandelion greens

    • Collard, mustard, and turnip greens

    Supplements:

    • Calcium with D3 3x per week

    • Multivitamin once per week

    💡 Avoid fruits, animal protein, and high-oxalate greens like spinach. Those can upset their digestive tract and mess with calcium absorption.

    Keep a large, shallow water dish available for drinking and soaking — especially important for younger torts.

    🏜️ Enclosure & Habitat Requirements

    Sulcata Tortoises grow big, and fast. So having the right setup early on saves you time, money, and stress.

    Indoor (For Hatchlings & Juveniles):

    Element Recommendation
    Enclosure 4×2 ft minimum (6×3 ft for juveniles)
    Substrate Organic topsoil, coco coir, cypress mulch blend
    Temps 80–85°F ambient, 100°F basking
    Humidity 40–60% (hatchlings need 65–70% for smooth shell growth)
    Lighting UVB tube (T5 HO 10.0) + heat bulb
    Water Shallow soaking dish; soak hatchlings 3x per week

    Outdoor Setup (Ideal for Sub-Adults & Adults):

    If you live in warm states like California, Arizona, Texas, or Florida, Sulcatas thrive outdoors with the right fencing and shelter.

    • Minimum pen size: 8×8 feet (bigger is better)

    • Fence depth: At least 12″ below ground – Sulcatas dig!

    • Shelter: Heated tortoise house or dog igloo

    • Plants: Edible grasses, hibiscus, cactus pads (opuntia)

    Note: They cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. Bring them indoors or provide a heated shelter during cold seasons.

    🧠 Personality & Social Behavior

    Sulcatas are surprisingly social and expressive. They’ll follow you around, bump their head for food or attention, and even nap near your feet if they trust you.

    • Very active grazers

    • Gentle and calm

    • Curious about surroundings

    • Can recognize regular handlers

    • Love to dig (great enrichment!)

    They’re not aggressive, but their size means you should always supervise interactions with small children or pets.
