peppers?

[Obbie]

Help, does anyone know if you can feed the small red, orange and yellow peppers. I cut them up, and remove the seeds. Do I need to ?

@Obbie : You posted this in a thread about garden snails, so I wasn't sure if your question is for feeding garden snails or tortoises. If tortoises, what species and how old/big?

On occasion, I fed green, red, and yellow peppers to my tortoises and never removed the seeds. Some tortoises ate the peppers, others would not eat them. I don't think any of them ever ate the seeds, though.

My rule of thumb is if it's small enough to go safely down the throat no need to remove them.

As for Redfoot, peppers can be part of a varied diet without concern

You can feed any of the not hot peppers to tortoises. It should be a small percentage of the diet and not a staple. There is no need to remove the seeds or the tops either. They can eat the whole thing.
