strawberry

[Melly-n-shorty]

Ok tomorrow is Shorty's guessed one month old mark. I wanted to celebrate by giving him a pea sized chunk of strawberry. I know that its kind of silly and it probably more for me then for him. but I really want to give him a little special treat.

Do you guys think it would hurt him to have a little pea sized chunk?
or could you suggest something better?

i don't think it will hurt. My sulcata likes carrots so I use that as a treat occasionally.

ooo that's a thought he hasn't had one of those. maybe I can find one at the store with the top on it!

My sulcata *loves* strawberries. Of course, they're not supposed to get much (if any) fruit. But, hey, a bite won't hurt

I haven't offered any fruit to my hatchlings. A nice red hibiscus blossom would be a good way to celebrate too -- and much healthier.

Give my Hermann's tortoises a strawberry each, occasionally...'bout once a month or so.

No more often than that won't hurt, but much more often can give 'em "the squirts".

The hibiscus plant I got shorty is still pretty small it hasn't given off another bloom otherwise that's exactly what i would do!

Well strawberry is one of the best and the favourite food liked by tortoise as it is good for them is healthy too, first food that Red foot ate of her own will is that only.
