I'm feeding pancakes, Asian forest tortoises, hingebacks, Egyptians, forstens, radiated, flat tails.
What are you feeding?
I spell it like this 'smart A$$' and the TFO overloads seem to miss it. Maybe it's because I'm A $$ person?Smart ars

None the less if someone can't take a few seconds to ask a cogent question I find it's okay for me to make humor of it. They certainly got answers, so I hardly interrupted the information flow. And now you and I are having a fun conversation. Win-Win.
Good call, @Yvonne G as those are really pretty good choices but rarely mentioned. 3:1 cal/phos ratio, high in vit A and vit C. Like most greens, you still need more fiber somewhere else.Well, I hate to be a smart A $$, but if you had paid attention to the title of the thread you would have realized they were asking about food.
And off topic of this thread: @Will - could you put up red and green leaf lettuce in your thread about food nutrition please (sorry, I can't remember the title of it to link for you)

Boy-o-boy that was risky poking me with a sharp smart A$$ stick. Best laugh of the day, thanks.I know that you are an experienced member AND a biologist, but I feel very strongly that pancakes are bad for both tortoises and turtles. I cannot reference a study offhand, but I respectfully suggest that you do further research and reevaluate your decision to serve pancakes. If you decide to continue including them on the menu, make sure to only use real butter and all natural syrup heated to precisely 103F.
In the winter I feed my Russian tortoise organic kale and cactus pads from the grocery store. If you are ever in the store and see cactus pads, you should buy some. Make sure to get all the spines out and chop it up real small.
Russians can eat it just fine not cut up.
