As most of you know, I live in Alaska. I am near no large towns or chain stores just to clarify further.
I have a leopard tort hatchling from Jodie and I am finding that the weeds are drying out and dying already as the weather cools off. All of the plantains are yellow, dandelion greens are getting dried out and all that leaves me with are clovers and grasses. I know spring mix is the go-to grocery store green but can/should anything else be included to further supplement his diet? I am looking into buying some seed mixes as well since the grass has really taken off in his enclosure to plant so he has more variety for foraging as well. Even though my guy is a hatchling, he readily snacks on the grasses I provide him. Mazuri and Marion Red block foods are being provided as well as calcium in both the form of cuttlebone and home made calcium carbonate blocks.
ETA - These are the seed mixes I plan on purchasing next week to add to his current personal crop;
Broadleaf Testudo Mix
African Grazer Grass Mix
Red Cowpeas
