Multivitamins

[Iceprincess100]

Is it okay to give my sulcata rep cal herptivite multivitamin? If so, how much and how often?

It is okay. If the diet is good and varied, you really don't "need" it, but once a week is cheap insurance against any vitamin deficiencies.

For a sulcata?

For a sulcata?

For any tortoise. I feed so many different items that I seldom bother with supplements any more. They just don't need it in my case. I feed almost no grocery store produce. I introduce some of those items to babies because I anticipate that their new owners might offer spring mis or something similar, so I want the babies to know what it is, but I mostly feed weeds, grass, leaves, grass hay, flowers and opuntia pads to all my tortoises. Well... no hay for the babies, but everything else.

I used calcium for a little while but honestly I don't give any supplements to my tort now. I just give him a varied diet, I feel that's enough. Hes growing and healthy as far as I can tell.
