Yeah Joesmum, that's one of the lists of edibles I've seen. I have many of those growing and add them to the feed mix for my sulcatas. I am looking for the ones that torts, in this case a redfoot, aren't likely to touch if they have a ready source of food. I can't imagine that redfoots in...
I've done internet searches, but usually get a list of edibles for tortoises. I scrolled through the stickies and was surprised there isn't a list there. I then did a quick search in this forum and couldn't find a good list there either.

We do do heartworm pills every few years or so, but not nearly at Vet recommended intervals. Those regular intervals were originally for outdoor dogs but got spread to all dogs to alleviate confusion (and maybe pad profits?). Our dogs are indoor dogs and if we do a heartworm dosage, it is in...
I am in the center of the state, so salt isn't really an issue. I obviously won't be feeding my sullies dog droppings as that's probably a good way to introduce diseases. The gophers supposedly know what they need, nutrition-wise, and that's why they beeline to certain plants. I feel fairly...
I have a couple of young Sulcatas and being new to the Sulcata, I check everything I feed them against online resources to make sure it is okay. My yard is probably 50-60% garden and 99.8% organic ( I give a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in March to help my yard wake up, though I didn't...
