What's your Redfoots favorite food?

[Toddrickfl1]

What's your tortoises favorite food? My Redfoot Murphy would literally sell his soul for a bite of banana! He only gets it once in a while as a treat though.

 

[MysticCaribou]

Chicken, definitely. Then everything else

Chicken and banana

 

[Toddrickfl1]

Murphy wouldn't eat chicken when I tried a couple times. If it's not banana, Murphy's second choice is definitely papaya. I've done an experiment a few times where I put a small piece of both, and without hesitation every time, straight for the banana.

Im not sure. George eats most foods, likes everything. I guess though I'd have to say his favorites are muahroom, papaya, mango, and banana.

I would say worms. When I'm digging in the pen, they are always close behind picking up worms and grubs I turn over.

Mine loves earthworms too

Strawberries. But tonight it was the humans' turn to eat strawberries.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Mango or banana.
Both will be ripe soon.

Minced meat ( cow ), banana and strawberry, but the meat is the most interesting food of my redfoot.

Mine won't eat mango which is surprising to me. I've tried a few times he just picks around it.

Some have different preferences to others. I have adults that love worms but 2 that are scared of worms. I have an adult female that would pick greens over banana any day but others that love banana.
I reckon overall mine favour dandelion flowers the most.
My babies and juveniles literally eat everything you put in that is edible.

Rose of Sharon, pumpkin, and any fruit!

What is Rose of Sharon?

It’s a hibiscus, hibiscus foliage and flowers are good for all torts. Grape vine leaves are another good food source.

I tried a couple days ago to see if they are still scared of worms and yes they are. So weird how they back up and walk around the worm.

I used to live in Fl (USA) and hibiscus grew everywhere. Now I live in North Ga and you don't see it here.

Mine are pretty fond of moistened Mazuri.

Mine always go for the mazuri first.
