Russian Tortoise - feed or not to feed

[jansloo]

Hi. I'd like to know how often do you feed your Russian Tortoises?

I was doing some research where I found out that a lot of people feed them daily but I also I found out that some people feed them 5 days and 2 days let them fast or they just feed them 3 times a week.

How often should RT be fed?

Simple answer how many days a week do you eat? They are grazers and as such do better with daily food offerings

I have weeds planted in our Russian's yard for him to graze as he pleases. I also offer Mazuri weekly and if I have some greens in the fridge, I'll bring him out a deserved treat as well. So I recommend daily if yours doesn't have access to growing weeds.

As much as they want. If they finish a pile, give them more.
