i feed quite a varied diet to my 17 mo sulcata and 3 mo leopard. i feed:
spring mix
collard greens
turnip greens
sweet potato
cactus
kale
bok choy
squash or pumpkin
parsley
cilantro
mazuri (once a week)
grassland tortoise (once a week)
tnt with probiotics on their food twice a week
miner-all on their feed 3 times a week
strawberry or apple (only a tiny bit, once or twice a month)
keep in mind this is their winter diet - i'm in missouri, so it's too cold this winter for them to be outdoors right now. they are both growing good and fast. but, i have a question. because i keep a variety of food on hand, there is always something that ends up spoiling before i get it used up. the 3 mo obviously doesn't eat much.
so, my question is - is it bad to feed one thing until it's used up and then switch to something else? for instance - can i feed all of the bundle of collard greens up in a week and then switch to something different the next week?
at present, i just mix the greens in with their spring mix every few days, but at that rate a lot of it ends up going bad before it's all gone. the spring mix is the only thing that ends up getting all used up, but even then it's just starting to spoil a little.
