With this list. Or knowledge of what your tortoise can eat. Finding food will be relatively simple.
I’m from Ireland so there aren’t many lettuce growers out there. I grow my lettuce and weeds in the summer and buy them in the winter. There’s a few growing beside his tank and I’ve got a big planter with seeds in it which I’m growing. I’ve also been trying hydroponics. Lettuce won’t be ready for another few weeks so I’ve been feeding them more hay and stocking up on any lettuce I can find. If it hadve happened during summer we would’ve been fine but we should be alright with all the lettuce growing.
I usually grow everything in the summer but the weather in Ireland isn’t great for growing at the minute. aren’t many growers either sadly. Thanks for the list I’ll try have a look for some!
Where I am in Texas the stores are picked clean and having to shorten their hours. Luckily, I've always kept extras by nature--dried beans and grains, canned goods, etc. (except we almost had a toilet paper emergency when we were down to the last roll and couldn't find any, and finally found ONE PACK left at the store.) I totally agree that people are watching/reading the news and panicking/stockpiling-it's insanity. But the shortage issue is very real here where I am as far as being understocked. For me, this is a lesson for the future in always being prepared and not waiting for a "situation" to have emergency supplies.
You could look around outside for things like dandelion,nettles and any other weed that is tortoise safe. If your tortoises only eats veggies you could see if someone you know may be growing lettuce,carrots and you could ask for mabey the ones that are mis-shapened or other things like that.
