Carbohydrates

[River14]

Ok Im some place this has come up here. Someone asked if rice was good for tortoises (im not sure what kind of tortoise) but it got me thinking. certainly at times of the year grass is going to head and be high in carbs as is some fruit fallen from trees.

My question is what is the best kind of carbo, ie nuts seeds fruit. Cause as far as I can see there is very little in the diet of a herbivore or is there????

If I remember my hibernation lesson correctly (right now I am only talking about callifornia desert tortoises) When the get ready to head into hibernation their diet switches to a higher carb diet. Which is why they often switch their eating habits to drier foods with a higher carb count.
