Hi Everyone,
I have Hermann's specific questions--
I'll be getting my 2 little guys pretty soon. The enclosure is all set up and ready to go, so now I'm fine tuning everything else--
Did I buy the right stuff?
-cuttle bone
-repcal ulrafine calcium with D3, no phosphorous
-repcal herptivite supplement
-zoomed water conditioner
-Living World timothy hay
-Carolina Pet Supply organic herbal salad mix
-oat grass seeds (for planting at home)
I've also come to the conclusion that I should be feeding my new torts the following:
85%:
-spring mix minus the spinach
-organic herbal salad mix (carolina pet supply)
--escarole
--bok choy
--mustard greens
-romaine
-green leaf lettuce
10%:
-dandelion
-apples
-peaches
-plumbs
the occasional:
-melon
-carrot
-squash
Do I have this all right?
Also--
How much of the calcium supplement do i use for 1 month old torts?
How much of the reptivite do i use?
If you have a happy, healthy Hermann's -- What do you feed them?
I have access to a weekly farmers market and a regular grocery store. What can I buy there that will be healthy for my new torts?
Can I grow food at home that makes up a vital portion of their diet? Do you know of any websites that I can order seeds from? Or maybe a nursery?
Thanks so much for helpin' me out!
