Hey guys!

I have a question, i feed my baby hermann's tortoise this food everyday, according to other people online they recommend it but i'm not very good with knowing what grass has too much protein or anything so i wanted to ask you guys if this diet seems fine??
especially now in the winter im not able to pick out dandelions etc.
its a german food but i tried to translate it via papago.
please let me know if i should change it or if it seems alright.

(if u have questions about my housing or enclosure please refer to my other posts thank you.)

Hello!
1. Composition for the first bag is: 40% dandelion leaves, 30% Norway plantain leaves, 20% nettle leaves and 10% alfalfa herb. It's not bad, however I would not supply it daily (2 times a week, I guess is fine).
2. Agrobs Pre Alpin is a good line of foods. Fiber/protein and Calcium/Phosphorus ratios are great. As I remember variety of plants is outstanding as well (something around 60 species). Fine for daily feeding and enriching grocery foods.

It's important to ensure very good hydration while feeding both of these.

Oki thank you, since my hermann's doesn't really like the agrobs i always mix it up with the first food but i will now try to minimize it.

sometimes he gets rucola and lamb's lettuce but ALWAYS mixed with agrobs. when feeding with agrobs i mix it with water and he always has water dish available and i soke him daily for 30 minutes. i hope its okay.
