Feeding 6 month old Hermanns

[emmal30]

Hello!

I am getting 6month old Hermann's tomorrow - very excited.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what to feed such young torts - does it differ from what they eat as adults?

Thanks in advance

I've heard you feed them as much as they will eat within 10 minutes instead of 20 like adults, but you soak them more often as well. I like to feed my baby russian a bit of seed mix I have growing in my windowsill in the morning to get him going and encourage him to come out of his hide and then I feed grocery store greens after a soak in the afternoon.
