1. Grass surface Small tortoises (like baby
Sulcata tortoises) find it difficult to eat
tougher grasses. But you can feed a tortoise from
a grass surface.   2. Flat rock Flat rocks
are convenient tools for feeding turtles and
tortoises.

3. Concrete You can feed a tortoise from a
concrete surface too. Just make sure that the
concrete surface is completely flat (without any
sharp areas on it) and clean.   4. Tray Trays
can also be used for feeding tortoises or
turtles. Use well-cleaned trays without raised
edges.

5. Surface having gravel Do not feed a tortoise
from a surface having gravel. Rock fragments
might get eaten by a tortoise / turtle along with
food.   6. Dirty surfaces - Do not feed a
tortoise from a dirt surface. Always feed them
from clean surfaces because it is likely that
they will eat dirt along with the food.
