Delete 6. h frozen thawed of most of those is not really a great diet source. In a pinch maybe once every other year (LOL) no worries.
7. prickly pear fruit when in season and melon, keeping at the five %, when in season.
Otherwise this list should not replace your current diet, but can be used to widen variety,
She also told me to get him alfalfa hay. What do you think? Opinions?
What do I think? I think you need to find a new vet. This one is ignorant of tortoise nutritional needs and husbandry.
I'm glad you realized it.Yeah. I wasn’t impressed. I drove over an hour to go there because they are supposed to be experts in wildlife and exotic pets. Then they made me wait 40 mins even though I had an appointment. Then she kept interrupting me and was quite rude. I was told to keep him warmer at night, supplement every day instead of 2-3 times a week and then she handed me this sheet. I don’t think I’ll be going back to her.
I would call and complain. Let them know why you won't be coming back. Make an effort to stop these people from spreading bad info that will harm tortoises. You are already feeding the best diet possible for your species, and these imbeciles tell you to go to the grocery store and buy crap that is not as good for them and in some cases detrimental. That is bad news for any other tortoise that gets carried through their doors.
