Hi I'm new to the forum.. I am struggling to try and find a scheduled diet for my cherryhead redfoot tortoise named Sheldon. Could you guys help me out? Like for example
Monday- straight greens (list the greens)
Tuesday- fruit only (list the fruits)
And exc.

Thank you guys! And I would really appreciate the help :)

We have a very nice section for redfooted tortoises in the Tortoise Library. Go to the first page of the forum, then scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says, "About Us" and "Exotic Pet Network." Under the network you'll see a link for The Tortoise Library. Good stuff in there on how to care for your RF and what to feed it.

I don't have a super set schedule, but I aim for 3 days of Mazuri (it's a specially designed tortoise food and one of the few that we actually think is good and healthy), 3 days of greens and 1 day fruit/protein alternating weeks.

For greens, I buy spring mix from the store or go pick weeds off of my lawn.

For fruit, I give her some chopped up bell pepper, some frozen tropical fruit (I thaw it of course)... thing like that.

On occasion I will go a couple days in a row of Mazuri because I don't have the right stuff...
