What is better grazing or feeding grocery food for reds I was wondering for the future also if grazing should I add extra food like mazuri or something
Are large open parks to the public in cities save from pesticides & herbicides for tortoises to roam on & feed on the plant's flowers & leaves? I'm curious sometimes why there isn't a lot of insects visible in these parks, I also observed some apparent insect bites on the vegetations & wild birds around is this a good indication this is save for my tort?Just a reminder ….with natural grazing areas (which is very beneficial) be sure you/someone else have not sprayed any insecticides/fertilizers in or around your “grazing area”. This also goes for the neighbors on all sides and any run-off that may occur from their yards as well.

He doesn't NEED to eat Mazuri or any other pellet food. It's a convenient food. But it's not required.Hey y'all, I know this is an old post but I hope someone can help. We have a little red foot and he is not eating the pellet food we bought whe we got him or the forest mix that has fried up worms etc in it. But he will eat greens and fruits. I have been reading a lot of forums and it sounds like he needs to be eating mazuri, how do I make that happen? And people suggest with a little guy wetting it, does it have to be soaking wet or is this just to help him eat it so moist? Any help would be appreciated, he is our first Tory and I want him to be a happy healthy lil guy!
