Is avacodo good for sulcata tortoises

[Rafael Moreno]

I feel dumb asking this because i have a feeling that avacodos don't grown in the desert i'm just curious to know if it is and i mean small portion of avocado not a whole avacodo

I feed a little to my R/F,. but they have a different food requirement.

Avocados might be better than your average fruit, since it seems to have pretty low sugar levels.

From MedicalNewsToday.com -- Sugar - avocado's sugar content is low compared to other fruits. Half an avocado contains approximately 0.2 g of sugar.

We feed them lots of things that are not part of their natural diet.

I don't use avocados for my tortoises, so I don't know if they are fine or not.

By the way, avocados can and do grow in the desert, and sulcatas do not naturally occur in the desert.

A small amount would probably be OK, but I wouldn't risk it. I use this website as a general guide to my tortoises diet. http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/site/plants_19.asp?st=true&mode=main&catID=703
