Supermarket Safe

[elliot]

Hello all,
I’m getting my 1yr tort in about a month.
I’ve got the entire setup on order but I’m struggling a bit with food, I have got limestone flour, readigrass, cuttlefish bones and a winter seed mix.
But there won’t be many weeds about soon, can someone please tell me what I can get from say Tesco and b&q to feed her,
I think I need just a straight forward shopping list for her, and how often i can give certain things to her,

I would be really grateful for any help and advice given.

hi

if you go on on weed walks

you will find weeds that survive our winter xx

plantain dandilions bitter cress and others

in addition a good quality mixed salad such as florette cispy salad x

can be mixed witgh the weeds

may i just add limestone flour is brilliant as a calcium supply

but in addition nutrobal

gives additional vitamins and essential minerals

Have a look in the edible weeds/plants section in this section, there are quite a lot of plants that last winter. Campanulas, sedum, winter pansy, opuntia, it's not just weeds

lambs lettuce is another good stand bye
