When do tortoises (especially redfoots) eat the most? In other words, what is the best time to feed them? I feed them in the morning just as the sun is coming up, a big pile of food for the day and take out any that is left over as it gets dark. Should I leave fresh food for them in the evening as well? They always go into their hides/burrows in the evening.
I have never kept tortoises before, just turtles and snakes and iguanas. The iguanas always eat in the mornings and not after around 5 in the afternoon, when they begin to settle in for the night.
