I am wondering if it is OK to freeze my tortoise food? Such as cactus, squash, shredded carrots? I am also wondering is the left over shredded carrorts from our juicer is ok to give my tort? The Juicer seperates the juice from the hard stuff.

Greetings ~
I make a good sized amount of food for my torties at once and then put it in a plastic bowl with a lid to keep in fresh in the refer: I have never tried to freeze tortie food before. And sure, the shredded carrot left over from a juicer would be a nice addition to add to your torties "salad".
Actually, you can even grow the cactus pads, just place them in cactus soil, add water and they will take root; that's how I keep my pads "fresh".
Hope this reply helped ~

i've tried freezing cactus pads before but they thaw out to be really rubbery and tough - not good tort eats. dunno about carrots and squash...
The consistency changes, and not sure about nutritional value, but they sell for US to eat, so it cant be too bad.. but fresh is best.
I have frozen sqaush and pumpkin for winter time, fresh in the summer. I I grow the cactus in the road median out front.. Privte road.. no one has complained.. better then dead grass!
easy to grow.
