All my literature says that Redfoot torts should be eating some animal protein like slugs, worms, snails, mealworms and millipedes as the bug section and cat or dog food as the other. What KIND of dog/cat food? Kibble or wet canned? Any ideas would be great! I tried taking Ellie outside in the summer to graze but she wasn't interested in the grass at all. She just wanted to walk around. I also tried to get her to eat Timothy Hay, another no go. Also tried Hibiscus flower blooms & still nothing. The only foods my tort will accept are these:
1.Pineapple
2.Strawberry
3.Canned Peach from Del Monte
4.Kiwi
5.Banana
6.Grape or Cherry Tomatoes (in moderation)
7.Watercress
8.Green Leaf Lettuce
9.Romaine Lettuce
10.Zoo-Med Forest Tortoise Diet (Canada's equivalent to Mazuri)
11.Zoo-Med Mango Chunk Treats
Any other ideas? Help! I've only had a tort for 2 years!
