Organic?

Ok, so I have always gotten organic foods for my tortoise, ( I saw always as in about one month) but I decided after reading a bit to get something non organic (non organic collards). So should I feed my Russians tortoise this or keep feeding organic. I live in a very rural area, southern ms and now it’s not as polluted. So I just want to know your opinions?.?.?.

I think so long as you get quality produce, it shouldn't have to be organic.

I buy the best ingredients I can find for my redfoot, but they're not always organic ....

I offer both....practicality dictates some days.

I think it’s best to feed your tortoise the biggest variety you can. I can buy organic where I live very easily but would feed non organic if that’s what was available to me. I’d much rather feed twelve non organic foods for my tortoise than four organic ones.

The only solid argument I’ve heard for feeding something organic was for mushrooms; I can point you to the member who posted about it if you really want to know but otherwise I think it’s perfectly fine.
