Hello,

I am a first time Eastern Herm owner, I have a hatchling. I have read so many conflicting threads on what to feed it. Does anyone have a solid link that I can follow for an Eastern Hermanns diet. Also can I grow weeds? Most of the yards near me are all treated with harsh chemicals so right now he/she is on a grocery store organic diet.

If I use organic soil what should I plant ?

Okay so the diet should really be weeds and flowers, with the occasional supermarket greens as a meal every once in a while. I don't have a link, but if you feed mainly weeds and flowers it will grow nicely and be very healthy. You most definitely can and should grow weeds. You should get one of those broadleaf mixes or weed mixes from tortoise supply. You can also plant cucumbers, squash, and zucchini plants to feed the leaves and flowers, and you can benefit from some veggies too.
