such a cute tort. please feed him cuttle fish bone good as calcium source as well good for his beak/mouth helps sharpen it. also my torts love tomatoes and cucumber . u can feed that once a week.
Do not give French beans and tomatoes. Limit cucumbers as well. Give any kind of hay.. those given to cows is ok too. Hibiscus and dhania.. romaine lettuce is the best but difficult to get in India. I was feeding that too I didn't know and my vet said protein is not good for them it will affect its kidneys and liverhi, i am glad u started this thread. i have 2 lovely torts and i just love them. they love french beans cucumber and tomatoes. hibiscus leaves as well. the dp pic is quite old when i was gifted them
Anyone fed this to your Star? I am thinking of cutting it up, remove the spines and feed it to mine
Can raddish(white in colour ) can be given or only the leaves of raddish as well can carrot be given?..and per day how many times should I feed my star Tortoise it's of 2.5 to 3 inch...
hi, nice to follow this thread.. i have 2 beautiful torts , the only feed on beans , tomato , lady fingers, cucumber .. when they were little they used to eat to coriander and sometimes hibiscus leaves..l but now they just sit on corainder leaves ... loves french beans and tomatoes... and bhendi... i also give them cuttle fish bone for calcium . 2 years back i used to clean egg shells and they used to love that too... i dont know wht is pyramiding but they look very active and healthy to me. . i will post a pic of them . also there are very few vets here who know how to treat torts. i usually take online advice.
All tortoises can feed cactus, it’s quite good for them. That one is going to be difficult to despine; some members burn them off with a torch gun; others go over them with a peeler or a plastic scrubber. I’m not sure that will work for you.
There are a few other members in other threads that commented that they are not sure about this particular cactus. One said that certain cactus can cause hallucinations in humans. So I am a bit concerned. Maybe I would try a bit first
Oh my goodness. What is the exact name? I would want to look at that more closely.
I thought this was with smoking them, not eating them?Peyote, Prickly Pear and the San Pedro are the most popular hallucinogenic cacti. There are however about three dozen cacti that can cause hallucinations

no raddish,only leaves and gudhal flowers and leaves, also shehtoot leaves are good,dhaniya,bhindi etc....check the tortoise table website or download the app from google play.Can raddish(white in colour ) can be given or only the leaves of raddish as well can carrot be given?..and per day how many times should I feed my star Tortoise it's of 2.5 to 3 inch...
They would love beans n lady fingers... Lady finger isn't harmful but beans are. Avoid giving beans on a regular basis.hi, nice to follow this thread.. i have 2 beautiful torts , the only feed on beans , tomato , lady fingers, cucumber .. when they were little they used to eat to coriander and sometimes hibiscus leaves..l but now they just sit on corainder leaves ... loves french beans and tomatoes... and bhendi... i also give them cuttle fish bone for calcium . 2 years back i used to clean egg shells and they used to love that too... i dont know wht is pyramiding but they look very active and healthy to me. . i will post a pic of them . also there are very few vets here who know how to treat torts. i usually take online advice.
