12.5% protein

[Abdulla6169]

Their is a food called agivert for tortoises and has 12.5% protein? I have a Greek, can it be a monthly food mixed with greens?

Most any tortoise safe food is okay as part of a varied diet.

Thanks I was worried I might give her too much protein... Now the question remains: will she eat it?

That we can't answer, sorry.

Greeks don't really have much of protein intake. Even flora(plant) protein. They do have very large calcium, phosphorus and iron requirements though. Shouldn't be an issue. Could we see the ingredient list perhaps?

@tortadise it here better late than never!

Thanks in advance

Turns out the food is expired. Yikes

 

[tortadise]

It's probably expired because of the cereals. The cereals may be the reason for the high protein content too. All that looks flora(plant) derived. Should be just fine. Would be nice to know which cereals they use. Wheat, barley, rye, or corn.

It probably won't hurt. That is not too much protein for a once-in-a-while food, but why? Why not just feed good green stuff instead?

It would take some 6 months to start feeding mulberry and cactus pads (I will have to wait because they'll be store bought), supermarkets don't have the vegetables I'm looking for (I found bok choy though ), I'm trying to grow barely now... Is it ok if like the yard was sprayed 2-3 months ago and I pick some newly grown weeds? What about the grass? I'll probably look for seeds at the Carrefour. Thanks for the replies

I'll probably try getting a refund for a heat bulb, I bought it for about $20...
