Hey guys, so I have a young red foot and I wanted to know what are the best sources to get him protein from and how often to feed him protein. Thanks
I feed earthworms, scrambled and hard boiled eggs (with the shell), chicken, shrimp, tuna, wet cat food, and occasionally moistened aquatic turtle food. I usually feed protein about once a week.Hey guys, so I have a young red foot and I wanted to know what are the best sources to get him protein from and how often to feed him protein. Thanks
The normal white ones you get at the grocery store. Sometimes my wife spoils him and grabs a Portabello or some other fancy type, but I don't think he really appreciates the difference.Thank you guys so much. What kind of mushrooms do you feed?
I am curious where folks got the information that mushrooms are high in protein. They really aren't, as far as I can tell.
The bulk of their protein would probably come from fungi and invertebrates in the wild.They're not high in it. It's just a part of the wild redfoot's diet that has some protein and no fat. It makes more sense to replace a week's portion of meat with mushrooms as opposed to replacing a veggie. I do agree that they still need occasional lean meats.
