Hi......I've looked at other threads and care sheets, but I have two questions that I need answered......
We are adopting a 5 year old russian tortoise who is used to being fed late afternoon each day (due to work, school schedules). We will stick with this plan.
1. Is there a specific size of meal (salad) we should give him each afternoon?
2. What are best items to purchase from grocery store? I live in Maryland and come fall, outdoor weeds will start dying off. He will live inside full time, but be taken outside regularly when possible.
3. We purchased dried tortoise hay food, dried dandelion mix, and flukers tortoise pellets? Should we mix these with the "salad?" Or, should we leave out a small handful of this stuff in morning when we go off to work/school?
4. How often do we sprinkle calcium on his salad/meal?
Thanks!
