Hi Everyone!
I am a soon to be Greek Tortoise mama, and have been doing a lot of research as of late about Tortoise diets. Some facts are contradictory, and I am landscaping my Tort's enclosure now, so I was hoping someone could give me some advise!
This is the diet list I have put together:
Bulk of diet:
* Collard Greens
* mustard greens
* red leaf lettuce
* green leaf lettuce
* romaine lettuce
* dandelion greens
* hibiscus leaves and flowers
* green onions
* green beans
* zucchini
* frozen mixed vegetables
* timothy hay
* alfalfa
* Kales
10% of Diet:
• Carrots
• Apples (with Skin)
• Berries
• Squashes
• Beans or Peas (with skin)
• Almonds
• Spinach
• Hibiscus (flowers & leaves)
• Geraniums
• Rose Petals
• Pansies
• Beansprouts*
• Corn *
• Celery*
And now, my question is what live plants can I put in my enclosure, that I can buy in a store in NY somewhere (a common species of plant that is good for an enclosure). THX!
