Rose hips are a good part of variety. They have a very high content of the beta-carotene. See HERE.

All species of tortoise can benefit from rose hips in their diet. The frequency and amount should be less than 2-3% per meal or week. The idea is too make each food prep different. A little goes a long way for that purpose. Leafy weedy greens should be the bulk of the diet for the species you mention. Forest dwelling species can have more rose hips in their daily food, but still skip a few days before offering it again, no matter the species.

I have a question, I am currently soaking cactus and hibiscus for my tortoises tomorrow. (Leopard, Eastern and Western Hermanns) can I give all of them the rose hips? Thank you

I really enjoyed this podcast and hearing about your background. It also inspired me to get more variety into my tortoise feed via dried food. When I started with tortoises, I was grew stuff to feed from seed mixes, but eventually got busy and have been feeding a lot of grocery store stuff over the past year+. I bought a bunch of your stuff and am determined to get them to eat it!

So irritating! I set up a spotify account then clicked on Will's link and it took me to the app store. So I clicked on the download button and got spotify MUSIC downloaded onto my Kindle. Misic is the LAST thing I'd EVER want on my Kindle, but I figured I needed it in order to watch and hear the podcast. so I clicked on the link Will provided again and finally it looks like I'm going to get to the podcast. BUT the sound is SO quiet I can't even hear it with two hearing aids and Kindle pressed onto my ear, and the sound on the Kindle turned up far as it will go. I've spent 15 minutes on the darned thing and am so irritated I need to go take a Nervine and pet the dog!!!! SHEESH!

You should be able to listen thru a browser on the page that opens up, without a Spotify account or using the app. Just 'x' out of any popup windows.

Alternatively, this should let you listen thru a browser also. Just click play

I don't have speakers on my computer, so I have to use the Kindle. When I click on Will's link it takes me to the app store. Later after my chores I'll try your link on the Kindle, thanks!
