You make me laugh x

not sure, why the last picture did not post correctly?
However, this one hopefully shows a pair of adult T g ibera tucking into their Exotic leaf eater, prealpin muesli. I should add that this also gets a liberal coating of nutrabal too.

NB it seems posting a photo bucket image via an iPad has some issues! Has anyone else had this problem?

I can't see pictures posted by some people but can see pictures from others and no idea why. the one you have posted here is just a red x to me, even right clicking and selecting 'show picture' doesn't show it.

Edit> This is what I see..

This is one of Paul's (geomyda) archive pic's of a mix, hope he does'nt mind me digging it out. Pellet, prealpin, tomato canned. There is another one somewhere.

I can see that one, however I've checked the properties on the red cross one and I think it's the same code http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/d...a/IMG_5431.jpg so don't know what was wrong

Edit, the one with the red cross has 2 http's on it .. http://http

Paul, Do they get that food daily, or is it a once a week diet? By the way looks yummy. I haven't had my breakfast yet so anything looks yummy at the moment lol

This is given to the T g ibera, and T h boettgeri, every couple of weeks during their season. The tropical species, tend to get it more frequently. Red foots, and Elongated torts like it very much, as do some of the semi Aquatic species that I keep.
For what it is worth, my recommendation to those whom keep Tortoises;these diets are very useful as part of a varied captive diet, and if understood correctly they enhance the health and well being of captive animals.

Would giving it to Toby (42+ year old algerian Tgg) once a week be about right? He still won't eat anything and i'm hoping this will tempt him

I feed the Pellet/Pre Alpin mix only once or twice a week depending on season/fresh food's available, still stuck at a 1-2% of soaked Leaf Eater with a couple of cob's of the Pre Alpin shared out/mixed in. In deep no weed winter i would feed a cut down ratio of pellet's this could then be shared into three or four day's of feeding. Any safe plant's, some shop salad, some little sparingly veg would get you by on other day's, on a two day a week pellet/Pre-alpin mix.
I think Geomyda (Paul), feed's his pellet/pre-alpin/tomato mix once a week ?
