I'm redoing my enclosure today-all fresh coco, sphagnum moss, cypress mulch, new hides, etc. I found a local garden center here that I had never been to before and they had a bunch of seeds. I was so excited and wanted to get some just for cover in the enclosure for free feeding and helping with humidity. My enclosure, btw, is a 4' X 8' box in a shed which used to be a chicken coop and has electricity.
So my question is, is it safe for my redfoots (3 of them about 3, 4, and 5 inches) to free feed off of the Winter Rye and White Clover? Those were the only two seeds I got for the enclosure because they didn't have mixtures, didn't really have weeds except the White Clover and although they had more grasses, I don't know if my torts like grasses yet. I read up on White Clover and it seemed to be fine, but then after I bought it, I came across some other information that made me question whether free feeding when not in a seed mix was safe. I'm still confident that the Winter Rye is, but I thought I'd throw that in here as well while I'm asking. I will still be feeding them their normal diet as well. Thanks!
