theelectraco said:What does your tortoises diet consist of?
theelectraco said:I would offer your tortoise a wider variety of food. What type of tortoise do you have? I feed mine grass and weeds, cactus, collard/mustard greens, cilantro, spring mix, mazuri & zoo med tortoise food, and also a variety of fruit. I have a Redfoot, so they can have fruit, other tortoises should only get it rarely as a treat. I still usually supplement calcium 2x weekly, but only a very small amount. That is my personal regimen, maybe a more experienced member can also offer some advise. When you feed a broader variety, you fill the void that one food may have by offering others to make up for it.

jaizei said:Maybe. At the very least I would have cuttle bone available so they can self supplement if they feel the need.
KingInCulver said:I offer it weekly and also he has a cuttlebone in his enclosure. Some weeks he doesn't touch the calcium powdered greens, other weeks he finishes it off. Same with the cuttlebone.
