Pelleted diets... yea... again

EJ · 01-09-2010, 07:04 AM

Here is a brief update on a couple of tortoises that you've seen in the past. This is also some photos of my Stars to get Kelly off my arse.
These are my Stars which are about 7 years old. I'm guessing they were the same age and size when I got them at 2 inches SCL.
This is the male.

This is the female.

This is the pair together.

The female is about 6 inches SCL. The male has been mounting the female in the last few months. I don't expect anything to come of it.

This is my Spider tortoise.

These tortoises have been fed a pelleted diet exclusively.

Ed,
Superb! I feed all my 3 torts exclusively on Mazuri and thay are hooked on it now.

They look lovely Ed. Can I ask if you feed them on a daily basis?

EJ · 01-09-2010, 01:34 PM

Up until recently I was feeding them once a week. Now I'm feeding every 3 days.

You can feed daily but I suggest limiting the quantity because of the high nutritious value of the diet.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

Temps 80 to 90F... no UV... quite dry. I will be adding a humid hide. All my animals have been kind of neglected the last few years.
