I'm in Seattle, WA (USA) with a short growing season. About half of the year I have to purchase greens at the store to feed my rescued group of 5 Redfoots and 1 lone Sulcata. The Sulcata is about 3-4 years old and under 10 lbs. I rescued him two years ago at 85 grams, very little growth that first year or so, but this last year he has found his health and is growing fast.
During the summer I have plenty of seasonal weeds and grow my own tortoise greens.
My question: A neighbor owns a sandwhich shop and has offered me daily scraps if I want them - it would be Romaine hearts and the end slices of tomatoes (butts). Nothing that would work as diet staples, but the romaine hearts would give all of them some hydrating variety to their meals. Will pulpless end slices of tomatoes be too acidic for the Sulcata if they are tossed into their salads?
Thanks.
