Alrighty,
So first off some information
Donatello 11yr old female(recently discovered we have had her since she was 4 and many vets agreed that she was a boy) in a 4ft x 6ft indoor enclosure(we rent outdoor not an option) Veterinarian says is in good health and condition
Schedule- feed daily(should move to every other day since older?? vet said that she isn't fat and overall in great health sees them about 1x a year for regular check up)
Diet- varies in what she actually gets but mostly consists of the following
Fruit- blackberries blueberries raspberries mango figs(when available) bananas, occasionally- nectarines peaches pairs apples grapes watermelon
Veggies- sweet peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, occasionally- carrots(she's not the biggest fan) pumpkin, green beans,
Lettuces- red leaf, green leaf, arugula, radicchio (lettuces found in spring mixes I buy the ones without spinach) turnip greens, mustard greens occasionally- kale, spinach, and dandelion greens(when available)
additionally- mazuri diet the regular tortoise diet not the LS, zoo-med dried flower topper, and flukers tortoise diet occasionally
Supplements- calcium powder and multivitamin (occasionally vet recommended as the diets above have calcium and ect)
So what I am looking for is I would like to add more variety into her diet
I am up for growing my own grasses or something
I am working on adding some edible plants to her enclosure pansies aloe, jade ect
She is a great eater and even often "begs"
I am hoping to someday own a house(if the market gets better... sigh) and have an outdoor enclosure
