what is the complete diet of a red footed tortoise?

Question

I need a list of everything a red footed tortoise can eat.

Answer 1

Wow- I don't think that will EVER happen- just way too long a list!

Redfoot diets go like this:

50% 'fodder'- grasses, hays, leaves, flowers, alfalfa, clover, 'yard plants'- mixed green and dry. MOST growing plants are good fodder for tortoises.
25% vegetables- pretty much anything a human can eat is OK, but they generally don't like corn, onions, peppers, etc.
20% fruits- again, whatever a human eats except cirtus.
5% protein- hard-boiled or scrambled eggs, pinkies, cooked chicken, quality cat food, fish, bugs and worms,

The species list would take forever.

If there is a more specific question, let us know and I'll try to answer it.

Answer 2

The forest habitat provides the red-foot with an abundance of fallen fruits such as wild plum. It also eats wild mushrooms, vines, grasses, succulents and carrion, and is attracted to yellow and red flowers. Twice a week feed red-foots mixed vegetables, green leafy vegetables, and fruits and flowers supplemented with Osteoform powder, and once a week offer them Zu-Preem.hatchlings eat a similar diet to the adults. Inhabitants of humid forests, red-foots do drink lots of water Appropriate high calcium greens include: collard, mustard, and dandelion. Other greens such as endive, watercress, romaine, kale, and escarole should also be mixed in for variety. Spinach should be fed sparingly, as it contains oxalates that bind dietary calcium, making it unavailable. Good fruits and vegetables to offer include: pumpkin, winter squash, grated carrots, crook-neck squash, zucchini, papaya, mango, kiwi, melon, cantaloupe, frozen mixed vegetables (thawed), and prickly pear fruits. Feed cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts in small amounts, these vegetables contain iodine binders that can cause a dietary deficiency if fed as a large part of the diet. Edible flowers include: hibiscus, nasturtium, prickly-pear flowers, and dandelions. A small amount of animal protein should be offered every other feeding, high quality canned dog food and pinky mice are acceptable. Hatchling tortoises should be fed everyday, and a pinch of high quality reptile calcium supplement should be sprinkled on their food every other day. After the first year, red-foots can be fed every other day and given calcium twice a week. Two-year old tortoises and adults should be fed twice weekly and given a pinch of calcium at each feeding.

Answer 3

no longer likely. it rather is considerable feed a variety of ingredients, so do no longer purely feed it cucumber all day daily! supply it carrots, broccoli, grapes, apples, pears, bananas (with the exterior on), strawberries, tomatoes, candy potatoes, mellons, mushrooms, earth worms and crickets (if it may capture them) or meal worms and different issues like that
