I have friend who recently rescued a sulcata that had received very poor care. She's new to tortoises but is committed to doing the right thing. I offered to try to come up with a listing of appropriate food items. I found a lot of conflicting info on the web, much of which I know is wrong or not applicable to this species.



The best info I've found has been on the Tortiose Trust Website but, they don't have any good grocery list type pages.



If anyone can point me to an on-line resource that would have appropriate foods along with some type of information about how frequently they should be fed and what proportion of the diet they should make up, I'd really appreciate it.



Thanks!

Alice
