Feeding moyRussian

[Auggie]

So I ordered some stuff from Carolina Pet Supply LLC back in December. I wanted to growm my Russian fresh food plus get some seeds for growing clover and such in his soon to built outdoor pen. Unfortunately Carolina Pet Supply LLC has terrrible customer service and hasn't shipped my stuff yet. Who knows if they even will. They were more than happy to charge my CC card thoug. Anyway, I digress. Where do you suggest I purchase seeds to grow fresh food . Looking ofr clover, grasses that he'll eat that are safe and also some dried stuff like clover and dandelion for the winter months. TIA

Definitely a Russian, we took him to a reptile vet to be sure he was healthy. Thanks for the link,'m checking itout now. I'm always a bit leary of Amazon products when it comes to my pets. Not sure how important it is but I'm looking for organic seeds for the tort just to be safe. After stopping traffic on a busy highway to rescue him I'd hate to poison him with crappy food
