What do you guys use for protein for your tortoises? I normally use red wigglers. One of my red foot lives the other one is scared of them.... So what do you guys use?
Yvonne G said:I'm babysitting two RF tortoises for Dr. Cosmonaut. When I feed them protein, which is about once a week, my usual choices are:
hard boiled egg in the shell
Purina Pro Plan cat food - moistened
meal worms
occasionally, and VERY RARELY, canned dog food

"wary"
