Cider pears and apples are still going to contain sugers, it's the sugars that form the basis of alcohol.
Another point is that the "friendly" bacteria in a tortoises gut, the ones that aid digestion, are thought to require a steady Ph level. Fruit will unbalance the acidity of the gut causing either a die off of the useful bacteria or a bloom of less useful bacteria. Personally I think this is why Testudo tortoises overfed on fruit often show symptoms of diarrhea. |
