Shell food

[russianhenry]

For those of you that are familiar with Lola's story, I would like to know what type of food will help her with her growth lines?? For those who aren't, long story short I rescued her when she was about 3 and she had huge growth lines that have finally stopped however she is now stunted. She hasn't had any shell growth in about 2 years.

If she'll eat Mazuri Tortoise Diet, that's one that will help with growth.

I will try that, any plants though? I've had her on collard, mustard, dandelion, aloe vera.

For greens for your tort, identify all the ones you can get for free outside and the ones you have to pay for in a grocery store and then look them up in the Tortoise Table Plant Database to find out which are suitabke to feed. You need to use as wide a range as possible for health. However, variety is over time... you don't need a big variety every day, or even every week. If you buy some greens, buy something different next time. The plants outside are seasonal so pick what you find
