Hi everyone, after a week of research or so from various forum readings and research on turtletary (my main source) and all the other recommended sources I have finally put together my diet plan for my baby red foot 4 month old Captain.
Here is the diet plan, if you think I should add/change anything let me know. The absolutely no section is just because that is what I probably will not and don't want to feed him, it doesn't mean that tortoises can't have it, i just needed to make it for my mom to be able to use as a reference when i am not home.
Everyday I will try to do a mixture of greens or fruits not just one green... So all listed are not just one meal it will be a variety in every meal.
I use the repetitive without d3 for vitamins recommend by the pet store and the vet recommend i used my pellet food twice a week I will probably just mix one or two pellets into the fruit mixture I make...
When he turns 6 months (suggested age for supplementing protein from turtletary correct?) in march I will change sunday to protein days and feed him the suggested proteins maybe even the cat food mixture with calcium that is said on turtletary instead of an extra day of greens.
Vegetables I will add as a treat or in the greens some days not all the time just to add something new but I probably won't do veggies all the time.
Please let me know what you think if its a good diet plan to follow??
My only concern was that I didn't realize that repetitive I had doesn't say it has calcium but the ingredients does? Is this ok to use or do i need something else?
My main source was turtletary, tortoise library and redfoottortoise for all my research.
Here are the pellets and vitamins i have
