Another question, sorry guys

[Emmykins]

Sorry for all the questions but I really want to make sure I get everything right!

Im planning to bath the tort in the morning and then feed it, i don't know what the best food for a baby is and how much and how often and how much to feed it, i've had alook around on this section and can't find anything about what routine for feeding the tortoise should have.

Emma there are many threads on here regarding diets and quantities to feed, I at this time of year would feed 100% weedy greens there being lots about, I feed at lib with this diet making sure a good calcium source is available along with added vit/min supplements sprinkled on the leaves daily in the forum of nutrabol.

I feed my babies daily, they're jsut over a week old now I give them 1 or 2 small leaves or sjut rip bits off bigger leaves and a few flowers as they seem to like them mroe than the weeds. I like giving them vetch as the leaves are small like them Just weigh them every week and they should put on 2-3g I think.. then you can adjsut how much you give them depending on how much they put on each week. Good Luck!

Hello you will get a variety of answers on this one

While indoors:
Some people feed as much weeds as they like
Some limit weeds to as much as covers the tortoises shell or as much as they can eat within an hour.

Outdoors:
If you have a enclosure with no food in people follow the above (while indoors)
With an enclosure with food in (weeds/plants) tortoise will graze as it likes as in the wild


At the end of the day you are looking for smooth growth
