redfoot protein

[naturalman91]

ok for protein i know i can give pinkies,hard boiled eggs, and cat food

but i won't give cat food,i cringe at the idea of pinkies which is weird because i have a snake and he won't eat hard boiled egg yoke

so i was just wondering what other redfoot owners give there's for protein

I give mine some tuna in a can with only water in it. Mealworms, June bugs, and some worms to.

I'm with Austin here. Mine get worms, pill bugs and tuna. I also feed mushroom which are high in plant protein.

Boiled eggs are good but will cause some super stinky turds

 

[naturalman91]

yeah im talking strictly animal protein, mushroom's have almost no nutrtional value they're just a filler really

Tuna, boiled chicken, shrimp, worms. Have you tried different ways of serving up the egg?

Lightly scrambled or lightly cooked and drizzle the yolk over greens.

i'll give it a shot if that doesn't work do you do anything special for the chicken or just boil it?

 

[pfara]

I just boil it and chop it into chunks.

Hi. Do you cook the venison or raw.
Thanks.

Cooked venison

High quality dog food. It's simple because I also have a dog.
And just today I tried some cooked white chicken.
They don't seem to know what to do with it.
I also hard boil and then smash eggs and serve whole. Smashed.
My tortoises are quite large.

 

[Octavious22]

You can feed slugs, butterworms boiled shrimp or lobster jaja

On a side note:
The more protein, the less wonderful the smell.....

I have NEVER had a shrimp left in the feeding dish (bought raw boiled w/o seasoning cooled to room temp detailed and peeled) everything else seems a 75% of finishing it.. shrimp seems to be a higher protein than chicken (at least more protein than a boiled leg)

I feed my juveniles a pinkie once every week. I have been feeding my adults fuzzies but its very expensive, so i've been feeding cooked chicken to the adults, but some turn there nose up to it, same with good cat meat.
Does anyone know if you can feed liver too torts, i would imagine yes but could do with someone confirming this. If yes, raw or cooked.
liver is very cheap in price.
OMG liver,sausage and onion gravy on mashed potatoes. Think I'll just text dawn see whats for tea tonight.
