Hi, so I’m pretty new to tortoise ownership, having had my nearly 4 year old Russian male tortoise for a month now.
I’m sure this has been asked and answered a million times but I’m so confused!
I’ve read the guide for Russian tortoises on this forum and I’m still non the wiser re supplements
I’ve currently got Nutrobal and Acehigh multi vitamins which I use on alternate days. I’ve also got calci dust but was told by the vet I don’t need to use that and the nutrobal.
how often and how much of each do I need to use?
He’s got an Arcadia uv tube, isn’t getting outside at all at the moment due to the weather (I live in north east England) and his diet is mostly supermarket greens (florette crispy salad and chicory being my base and add other stuff to vary it) with as many edible flowers as I can find from Waitrose (only place that sells them this time of year).
I’ve also got him a tortoise block, like a fancy cuttlefish, but he doesn’t bother it.
Thank you
