I have 2 sulcatas, I recently build an outside pen for them to go outside. Can I put sod in there for them to eat. If so is there any danger I need to worry about. It is called Habiscus sod. I hope I spelt it right. Please let me know. I also would like to know what seeds, or plants, I can plant in there for them to eat. Living in the desert it is hot and dry. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Just make sure the sod is free from pesticides and I switched to organic soil with all my new plants/grass.
There are quite a few websites that sell tortoise grazing seed so it has a mixture of timothy, bermuda, kentucky, etc. You can buy it from turtlecafe.com, carolinas pet supply, and a few more places have it. Some mixtures have edible weeds and flower seeds as well. Mine love Hibiscus plants so I have quite a few of those planted and I also just planted a Fruitless Mulberry Tree as well. Since they are grazing machines I supplement with orchard/timothy hay since I have to give my grass time to grow back...I recently just started grass in flat planters for my other tortoise.
Best of luck
