protein

[hturner]

Can anyone recommend a variety of meat options for a red foot?

I give my tortoise protein 1-2x weekly (small portions) in the form of turkey breast. Hands down my Redfoots favorite food. I have given a pinky in the past also but it just grossed me out lol. I've also done chicken breast. Tried to offer worms but my tort wasn't interested.

Yes i am with you there...i dont think i could give her a pinky...bleck. Anyway! Turkey and chicken...so you cook it first? or raw?!!

Cooked of course, lol. No seasoning. I just boil it.

I vary as to what I give mine. Sometimes superworms, they love them. Once a week I give a dry weight control catfood, soaked. Sometimes a hard boiled egg, sometimes a little canned catfood

Thanks Mikecow1 and theelectraco!! I have been doing a boiled egg once a month! Just hoping that was enough and i have no idea what her diet was like before i adopted her so i just want to make sure shes getting everything she needs.
