1. I am posting this in Debatables so no one thinks it is care recommendations, and so I can brainstorm and discuss things with you guys.
2. I'm researching a phenomena called 'Improper Diet Cascade' in birds, but it touches on things we see in tortoises so closely it is almost spooky. The problem is that it is one of those big, multi-system issues that are hard to research even in animals with shorter generations and life-spans.
Do Hingebacks pyramid? How about Eastern Box Turtles? I am asking because I don't honestly know, and I am wondering if there is something here we can use to tune the Red-foot diet.
Hinge-backs are the nearest DNA cousin to the Red-and Yellow-foot, a much closer match than any of the other Old World Geochelone as far as I can tell.
If Hinge-backs don't pyramid, why not? Is there a lesson there, something in the cares or diet that we may have missed for Red-foots????
