redfoot tortoise and broccoli.??

[EllisEditz]

is broccoli okay for redfoots to eat? and how would you guys prep it?

 

[Yvonne G]

The only species of mine the eat broccoli with gusto are the sulcatas, deserts and russians. All the others, including the YFs leave it on the plate. The only prep I do is to cut it lengthwise

Cut it into slivers and ad it as part of the varied diet.
(Cutting it is probably not actually required for adults?
Whenever I cook broccoli I give the stems and "branches" to my Redfoot and feeder insect colonies

Small amounts mixed in with other foods once in a while are okay, but it shouldn't be a main food item fed daily. I grate or mince it for smaller tortoises and leave it whole for large tortoises.

I don't boil it
I wouldn't feed chunks to very young tortoises though

I've never boiled or cooked it either.
