I need help planning i diet for my red footed tortoise
- Thread starter Andrew.H
- Start date
Some of the greens I feed are dandelion, clover, kale, mustard, turnip, collard, escarole, arugula, romaine, plantain weed, mulberry leaf, hibiscus leaf and flowers, raspberry leaf, endive
Some of the fruits and veggies I feed are mango, papaya, kiwi, melon, cantaloupe, strawberry, blueberry, apricot, pineapple, pear, banana, grapes, carrots, cucumber, squash, peppers, zucchini, and sweet potato.
Some of the things I use for protein are chicken, shrimp, tuna, sardines, scrambled and hard boiled egg, Earthworms, Mealworms, and sometimes low fat cat food. You want to feed protein about once a week.
I also feed Mazuri occasionally and layer crumbles from @Kapidolo Farms
There's probably more im not remembering too. No real schedule, I just try to offer a few different items everyday and different things each day.
