Boxing Day Brunch, Tortoise Style

[jsheffield]

A first course of organic greens from my "Misfits" box, I threw them in the various enclosures before making the rest of the breakfast.



Seeds and guts from the acorn squash we had as part of our supper last night.

Diced opuntia pads, rehydrated dulse (a seaweed) and hibiscus flowers, mazuri as dressing.

The Redfoot and the MEP got more of the second course than did the Russians, and everybody eats lots of greens....

You feed squash seeds? Oh man, I'd be afraid to do that. I am always afraid they will choke on something and die...

I've fed them all pumpkin and butternut and spaghetti squash since mine were tiny, without problems....

I feed squash to my tortoises, but you've made me wonder if I should be feeding them the seeds too.

I'm just really impressed. Not only is that food really good for them, it looks like it was cooked, the seeds look candied, and frankly that whole dish for your tortoises looks really good to me
