Should I be concerned that Tuck likes his Mazuri now more then he does his greens? He will chow the mazuri and just nibble his greens now and i mix it softened but still in pellet form
Yes @Tom Tuck is a RF did you see my post about his plaastron? Just want your opinion on that when you get some time. So I would just back of and feed once or twice a week. I am finding it hard to find things to feed veggie wise during the winter and also what’s your opinion on getting there there protein and calcium. The guy I got tuck from isn’t do capsicum supplements or protein so..... and I want to keep it as natural as possible
You'll have to maybe go COLD TURKEY with the Mazuri and not offer it at all for a week or two and just feed everything else.
I've had times that I spoiled my RF with too much Mazuri and they decided they wanted nothing else.
Now they eat it and anything else I offer them.
This is pretty normal. I only offer Mazuri twice a week and make them eat regular stuff the rest of the time. If they get picky on me, I stop feeding Mazuri entirely until they start eating their greens with more gusto.
Is Tuck a RF? I'd like to hear form people who keep RFs about this question since their diet is a little different than the diet of my tortoises.

Oh? I had been reading not to give them fruit bigger then there head no more then once a month?Don't forget RF's eat a 55% fruit diet, so add papaya, mangoes, fresh figs (when available), cactus fruit along with the greens.
Mine eat turnip, collard, and dandelion greens, endive, escarole, and radicchio, so you have a wide palate of choices for them.
As for Mazuri, my RF's eat it with gusto, I just give it to them once in a blue moon. Don't make it a normal part of their diet because it has too many "unnatural" tortoise ingredients.
Sweet thank youAqualce, shoot me your email and I'll send you a link to my Redfoot/Yellowfoot video husbandry course for free.
It'll make life a whole lot easier for you and your RF.
Wherever you read that.Oh? I had been reading not to give them fruit bigger then there head no more then once a month?
Mr. Johnsons tips are what I've based my RF diet on for the past few years....Sweet thank you
