So, I've scoured the Internet and this form quite a bit for food to feed a forsten's and I'm fairly certain I'm feeding her all the right stuff but I just wanted to see if anyone here had any advice.
Right now she gets butter/Boston lettuce (does anyone know if there's a difference??? The health food store I got it at said they were basically interchangeable but I don't know about that), endive, squash, sweet potatoes (with both the squash and the SPs I've been dreaming them, then letting them cool for a while before giving them to her, is this okay?) strawberries, occasionally mango (she LOVES mango but I'm not sure how good it is for her).
Obviously she doesn't get all of that at once, I mix it up a bit, and I ordered mazuri for her so that'll be coming soon and I have the broadleaf mix from the tortoise supply so she gets clippings from the sprouts too.
Right now it's not QUITE warm enough to find dandelion weeds and other weeds out but we're getting there.
Anyone have any other foods their forsten's love??
Am I doing alright with her diet?
She seems happy and healthy and eats like a champ even though she's now at my house full time so it was a change in habitat and her habitat is slightly smaller now.
