seaweed as a snack?

[kmartin]

A friend of mine has a Russian tortoise and he uses sushi seaweed as a snack with his mazuri. I know that nori is good for people but I'm not sure about feeding it to my tortoises. Any suggestions or ideas on whether or not it would be a good snack idea with grazing and mazuri as a new supplement?

I can't honestly say, I like it in my sushi. I wouldn't use it, personal preference I guess.

A Japaneses Russian? Or Russian from Japan? I'm very concern the additive in those seaweeds. Salt for one......

I don't see that it is a bad food, just not a totally awesome food if the tort likes it then perhaps using it as "part" of the diet would be fine, just not a main part and not all of the time....just my opinion.

Just as a treat would be okay... not very nutritious.

I wouldn't use seaweed made for humans because of salt, etc. Dried seaweed made for fish that is just 100% seaweed and no additives, like the San Francisco Bay brand would probably be okay...but I wouldn't make it a staple by any means.

Maybe seaweed meal made for animals.... it's just seaweed and nothing else.. or if by the sea pick it your self.. you could try to grow it maybe..
