My russian loves fresh greens with a little bit of fruit.

Hi emoryjen:

Won't you please take a few moments to start a new thread in the "introductions" section and tell us a bit about yourself?

I like to sprinkle on the TNT powder 2-3x per week sold by
http://www.carolinapetsupply.com/ca...=181cfc8fa27d0df73279f5386afd0004&keyword=tnt
It lasts a long time in the fridge, made from ground up weeds, etc.
During the cooler months when there are not as many options, I use Spring salad mix as a base, and then try to find 2-3 different greens each week to rotate based on this list, from the diet section of our forum:

They definitely have their favorites, but I keep offering a variety, and as time goes by, they adapt.

For my Red Footed Tortoise I use Repto Life. I just sprinkle some on her meals every so often. It helps get that calcium in her diet. Its available at any major pet store.
