Fruit?
- Thread starter alissank89

only as a treat, i feed mine one little pice of fruit a month. his diet should be mainly grasses and nontoxic weeds.
r/s/t are correct.
Of cause if you have a red foot tortoise, the frequency may increase some.
So what species we are talking about here?? Sucata? and how big is your Sully?

I don't agree! I would NOT make fruit part of a regular diet! Monthly is regular...it's a pattern...a routine! I, literally, feed them a strawberry each year (per animal) and a watermelon every summer. Other than that, pumpkin once a week throughout the fall and that's it! Apples, bananas, melons, you name it...not a good idea!
Although, it's not really a good idea to feed fruit to sulcatas and is not needed as part of their diet.

I think you have your answer from DeanS and wellington.
Fruit are not good. I think mainly it is too much sugar contain.

Thanks guys!
I agree too. No fruit. While they can eat some once in a while and its not toxic, its also not "good" for them and its taking up stomach space from things they should be eating that are good for them.

And what about aloe Vera?
Good in small amounts if they will eat it.

Same here. Never paid attention to the plant in his enclosure, only ate it up when I mixed it in his food...and one day I came home and the WHOLE PLANT was tipped over and eaten as far as he could eat it. Whoops.
