I have recently acquired a 1 year old? sulcata. I try to walk it daily for at least 2 hours. I have been noticing that it has been eating lots of protein rich foods, and I'm wondering if that is a problem. I have found it trying to eat chewed up chicken bones,cat food,dead insects, and a partly decomposed mouse skeleton.

Aside from that behavior it is healthy and gets soaked daily. So any thoughts on its food consumption?
