Sardines

[goReptiles]

Are sardines ok to feed tortoises? The ingredients include Sardines, olive oil and something else

 

[jackrat]

If they were packed in water,I'd say OK. But I'd be hesitant about feeding the oil.

The redfoots maybe, but not the Russians. Even if you rinsed them off, I don't think the oil would be a good choice.

 

[goReptiles]

That was my thinking. I was only going to off them to the red foots, but I was worried about the oil.

You should be able to find sardines or salmon packed in spring water. I offer this occasionally to my hingebacks, but not frequently because between the fish and the fishfull poop the enclosure can smell pretty awful for a couple days.
