Soft catfood portions...???

[Beasty_Artemis]

So I bought one of these to try out on my kitty as a treat, this is half of one of the kind that are two portions. I thought I remembered someone saying online in the past that it was alright to feed canned cat food to a red foot tortoise. I was looking at the little serving after I opened it up....Smells good...


Would it be a good addition of protein for my tortoise, Artemis? Or just something for a kitty cat only?

I feed cat food from time to time for protein.

( Turkey dinner , sweet!) The snobby look on Atemis's face before she would give it a little nibble! Adorable!!!!

While there are some avid supporters of canned and kibble pet foods for tortoises, it is only a mediocre food option. Fats, fillers, oils, calories- it is quite a bit for the tort. Having said that- it is also perfectly OK as an occasional option in reasonable amounts. Think of it more in terms of ice cream than as meat.
