Eating timothy hay is OK and should not cause problems. The hay is much more digestible for tortoises than are wood shavings. The sulcata also like pumpkins, green and yellow squash, cucumbers, apples, tomatoes, and all types of greens. My adults could completely devour large pumpkins and huge heads of cabbage in minutes. I had to break open the pumpkins for them, but they ate every bit of them after that; seeds, rinds, and insides. Of course, all tortoises will gothrough stages where they will eat one type of food more than another. I always try to give a variety of foods over the course of a week so they can get a good sampling of different items.
