Hey everyone it's me Brandon! I just got a baby Red footed tortoise yesterday at the Kansas City Reptile Expo. I was wondering what would be a good diet schedule to maintain with him? He's only 2.5 inches long
Here's my plan
Monday-Veggies(romaine lettuce, red&green leaf, carrots, cabbage(both carrots and cabbage will be occasionaly not a staple diet), maybe some squash and zucchini as well)
Tuesday-Fruits (apples, mangos, strawberries, blackberries)
Wednesday-same as monday
Thursday-same as tuesday
Friday-Same as Monday
Saturday-animal protein(either catfood, insects or worms) however I have read that it isn't wise to feed babies animal protein, but I have read else where that you should. What are your opinions?
Sunday-veggies and fruits
Please post your thoughts I wanna make sure i'm doing this right. Also should I start Calcium dusting? And if so then how often? Once again I have gotten mixed reviews on websites
Thanks for your time!
