Basic Diet of a Sulcata Tortoise

Sulcatas need a high-fiber, low-protein, calcium-rich diet. Along with fresh water, the most important staple in your sulcata's diet is grass. They are grazers, much like a cow, and they love to walk all day lazily munching on it. Try to feed them at least 80% grass and 20% flowering plants, succulents, and weeds.
