Since I joined this site I've been questioning everything I've been told regarding care for my tortoises. I have a question for the more experienced redfoot keepers- what is the best source of protein for a 4 year old Cherry Head? And how often/ what amount? I've had him for almost 2 years and he has been eating 1 frozen thawed pinky per week. Sometimes I sub it with half a hard boiled egg instead for variety
