I don't stick to a schedule and feed mine every day. Sometimes this will include a separate treat. Hibiscus leaves are fed each day mixed with Mazuri, other greens available and or some other fruit or vegetable that we have in the fridge. Also, hibiscus flowers. They appreciate the variety and you wont have to worry about running out of a certain item. I rarely dust the food of my out door dwelling tortoises, though they do get cuttlebones. If you feed every day with low protein like I do in a tropical environment, expect fast growth. My 3 year old R/F is already the size of a 5 year old. (From what I'm told)
