Foraging fun!

[Moozillion]

Since we were out of store-bought greens for Elsa, my 3 year old Hermann's this morning, I went a-foraging!!! Everything I got was from my garden: dandelion leaves, dandelion flowers (she LOVES them), rose leaves (soft new growth without thorns), pink rose petals, broccoli leaves and opuntia!!!! I never knew foraging for my pets would be so much fun!!!

thats funy i just posted about why people get there torts hooked on tomatoes and foods not good for them when there is info everywere telling them how to properly feed grassland torts.i love to go out to places i no have no fertlizer and pesticides and find loads of weeds,grasses and flowers in the late fal winter and spring summer i grow my own.i keep my new star tort on just a wild found diet and i have stockloads of stuff from clover grasses dandylion and more .i also found some wild optuna patchesunless there is snow on the ground my tort will get all wild then when there is snow i go to the potted weeds and grasses i haVE.this is not hard at all it actually fun and one of the reasons i love torts is i dont have to pay for food or drive to the petstore every 3 days .my star loves fresh cut grass .clover.and dandylion he chows on it and i no he is getting the proper nutriton and fiber i also give a sguirt of vitamins and he chows his cuttle bone so i add calcium no more

So true! I buy very little food for my redfoots. They almost take care of themselves. If I could build a heated tortoise barn they could stay out year round. The biggest hassle is gathering them all up at night during the winter. They are the easiest and funnest reptiles ever.
