Edible Eggs

[Yellow Turtle01]

Okay, so a while back my RES ate one of he eggs, and I was helpfully informed it would just give her a little calcium boost so now, I was thinking, would it be a good idea to occasionally give the eggs/eggshells? Chcien egg shells are little harder, but I think I'd be hardboiling them, so it would soften up a little. If the shells are a no go, how about plain, cooked, egg innards?
Thank you!

Yes. It's ok to give eggs and egg shells to the kind of tortoises that eat animal protein, like RF tortoises.

While they can eat eggs, I never tried it myself, so I don't know how readily they will eat them. My only concern with egg shells, is they are sharp, ground up in a mortar and pestle, should be ok.

So, for most omnivorous turtles?

I feed my turtle in a separate container. Keeps the water clean and makes him easier to handle cuz he knows being picked up means food!

Never! Titles can be misleading, and sometimes it can be disturbing until you read the thread...
