Centrochelys sulcata crawling on grassland chewing toilet paper and grass
Centrochelys sulcata, a species known for its large size and herbivorous diet. Although they primarily eat grass and other vegetation, it is not uncommon for them to occasionally ingest non-food items mixed with their food, such as small pieces of paper or other materials. However, it is important to ensure that they have access to a proper diet of fiber-rich plants and that their environment is free of potentially harmful substances. If you observe this behavior in your pet sulcata tortoise, it is best to monitor their environment and diet to prevent them from consuming inappropriate items.
