Other than a possible name for my next tortoise, is Tofu any good...For food? (Red Foot)
Tofu?

Just curious... Are you considering tofu as an alternate protein source or is there another reason?
I'm a firm believer that a tortoise should have nice fresh food just like me and my children. I would say no to tofu because let's face it..... That's not real food hahahahaha I won't eat it so how can I feed it to my baby?
That's a good question though, never really thought about it.

I would agree with not feeding it. Legume seeds are usually not a good choice and as a protein substitute, animal protein is to provide amino acids that don't exist in plants, as well as, D3 - neither of which would be gained from tofu.

At least once a week my wife eats some sort of Tofu something. Just curious.
My dog likes it. But he'll eat about anything.

The question comes down to what is in it, seems like a pretty exspensive food source either way.
wiki says it is made from bean curd, and soy milk, yecch, I would avoid for tortoises, and people.

Yes. I don't like it...at all.
