whats a good diet for my greek tortoise? right now he's eating kale and mustard greens with a little bit of that zoomeds grassland stuff and calcium supplements.
Romain lettuce
Kale
Mustard greens
Turnip greens
Collard greens
Parsley
Cabbage(on occasion)--cabbage that is fed long term has damaging effects to the thyroid so it is highly recommended to be fed
sparingly!
Red-leaf lettuce
Green-leaf lettuce
ICEBERG LETTUCE-- this type of lettuce in itself is not bad for any animal, but it has no nutritional value and most animals tend to enjoy it too much. They will wait long periods of time to get this tasty lettuce while avoiding other foods in the process.
Cucumber
Tomatoes(just the fruit, not the plant)
Strawberries (as a treat)
Carrots (as a treat)
Bananas(as a rare treat)
Parsley
Squash(no more than once a week)
Most Berries and Melons(as a rare treat)
Timothy Hay
Alfalfa Grass
Bermuda Grass
Dandelion(is a great food)
Most Weeds
Cactus Pads
Of course this is not the only list to pull from, but it is a bit of variety while you are compiling what offerings you make....
The beauty bout spring mix is they get to choose what they eat. But bad new, I think they tend to more on the picky side. Hence why I like to rotate my food.
