There are various posts on this forum recommending different combinations of diet for Aldabras. However, I could not find a specific post mentioning ideal specifications for the same as most posts have not discussed in detail the specifics of their recommendations such as the same are to be given in which proportions and at what intervals etc.
However, I found the following link which provides exact specifications for a balanced diet:
https://aldabratortoisehusbandry.wordpress.com/home/nutrition/
The specifications are as under:
Alfalfa hay (200 g), Orange with peel (100g), Apples with skin(200g), Melon with rind(100g), Grazer pellet (8.82g) , Moose pellet, Cabbage (50g), Chinese cabbage (100g), Dandelion leaves(100g), Yucca (50g), Lettuce (50g), Spinach (10g), Carrots (50g), pumpkin (20), Celery (100g), Pet cal, Vit E-cube, Vit D3, Vit A supplement to be between 300-400 , vitamin B12 supplement (1-1.5).
I requests experts to share their views on the above specifications with regard to whether in their opinion, this is a balanced diet and whether they recommend any changes in the above based on their experiences.
Also, whether the above is recommended for a baby Aldabra in proportionally reduced proportions or whether changes in the above are required for babies.
Thank you.
