My Russian Tortoise, Sunshine, was malnourished when I got her (I found her abandoned on hiking trails). As such I've been trying to feed her a lot to get her weight up. Now that she seems to be a healthier weight, I was wondering how frequently and how much I should be feeding her? I've read that you can give them as much as they would eat in an hour every other day OR give them as much as they would eat in 20 mins every day. That doesn't really help me to know HOW much because she eat periodically throughout the day and constantly looks like she's looking for new food.
I give her about a handful of kale or collard greens mixed with moist tortoise bites and calcium powder. She occasionally gets a flower food topper too. Is this too much? Should I be feeding this every day or every other day?
I live in the northeastern US so I can really only work with store bought foods for the moment. Are there other greens I should be getting? I know endives are good but they get slimey too quickly in my opinion.
