Tortoise Diet

is this good for tortoises? i feel its to dry and hard for babies lol

it's "ok" but there are fresher/better options. They probably wont eat it easily unless you chop it up super fine, rehydrate it and sprinkle it over other food/greens.

 

[russian/sulcata/tortoise]

yea maybe soak it for a bit and grind it up into little pieces and sprinkle it over greens.

If you want to get them a type of hay, try the herbal hey on tortoise supply.com. 1973 that might work better. You should

one will always become dominant and injuries can occur, just try to separate them as soon as you can. are you soaking them daily?

i found this video on youtube. it shows how even hatchlings can be aggressive.

just be careful dude stress from a dominant can kill the less dominant one. they should really be separated .

I know i need to buy another enlcourse n lights etc.. you know if viola flowers are good for them lol?

 

[Levi the Leopard]

I don't feed broccoli. Never have have and probably never will. Will it kill them? No. Hurt or harm them, doubt it. BUT there are so many BETTER things to feed that I don't bother offering fruits or veggies.
I literally stick to grasses, weeds, and other good leafy greens.
