hi there i have been looking after tortoises for a while but since i broke up and she took them when we split up
i have looked after them for about 10 years and also managed to sucessfully get some eggs , which i managed to hatch. i will bring it into a loving home and also for my children who love them and wanted me to get some so they dont miss out due to the breakup...... please help me put a smile back on my kids faces if you want any more just ask and can give you some more details if you want |

depends on what you were feeding him , but usally any of the following
Dandelion (Taraxacum officianale) Hawkbits (Leontodon spp.) plantains Clovers Nettles i also include lettuce, cucumber, some broccoli but not too much as it binds calcium, pumkin, squashes, tomatoes, kale, greens i also buy living herbs such as corriander, basil, parsley and oreganeo, about once a month i feed a treat of a fruit salad with melon, strawberries, apple, pear and grapes, but this is only a treat, you should also feed a good calcium supplement twice a week or get a cuttle fish and grate it over the food kids are 18 and 14 so they know how to handle them and hold them |
