With an enclosed habitat. Or what we refer to as a "closed chamber enclosure" or a greenhouse. Keeping humidity up and warmth in is MUCH more simple. And I also very highly recommend buying or creating something similar.
Thank you, I will now pick the midday of the day when the sunlight and temperature is at its best to feed her, mainly with vegetables and fruits, reducing some of the artificial feeds, and I'll put her back in the thermostat after feeding.
I can't help much. I'm new and sorting out the food myself. But. I feel the backyard and store greens related to "broadleaf weeds" they eat in the wild should be the base mine can eat for a long time. Mustard and turnip leaves are very much broad-leafed. I eat them. Can't stand collards myself, but it's on tortoise good lists. Random greens-looking weeds outside the house are some of Little Russian and Isabella's favorites. They look like stunted mustard greens. (Sweet things are frowned upon, so I avoid them.) Bought them an expensive bag of mixed young leafy things I thought we could share, but they were so bitter the tort children got them all. Yellow squash and zucchini were hits.
Yes. RF have a bitter taste sensation, I was recommended to buy grass powder (for extra fiber and calcium) but she hates it, she won't even eat it when it's sprinkled on her favorite tortoise food.
What is it? I forgot to ask.
Calcium powder should be added in very tiny amounts or tortoise would not eat anything, same thing for mine. But cuttlefish bone (white oval things used for birds) works. When you feed Mazuri and provide calcium rich diet you can skip using calcium powder.
Yes, I remember you post, of course. I've been worried that it suddenly disappeared. I'm glad that sorted out issues with your account. Welcome to the forum once again!
