Hi everyone!
I have two Greek spur-thighed tortoises - Botsworth and Hoardsley (who are absolutely lovely). They are almost 18months old and until now I have always fed them fresh greens from the garden/local area.
Sadly the cold weather in the UK at the moment is making it hard to find nice weeds for them to eat. I have read that it's best to avoid any sort of tortoise mix food. But I am just wondering - is it okay to feed them ProRep tortoise food every other day? It claims to be a good nutritious source of food - low in protein, added Calcium and D3, high fibre, low grain content. But I don't want to put their health at risk!
Thanks very much in advance for any help
