SORRY, THIS GOES A LITTLE FAST, YOU CAN HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON. MY TORTS HAVE GRAZING AREAS SO THIS IS NOT THE ONLY THING THEY EAT.

  • NEVER GIVE TORTOISES CRICKETS!!!

  • Funny, my torts live outside year round now and eat bugs when ever they please, but mostly graze on grass. They love to eat snails. I dont "feed" them bugs anymore, they hunt them.

  • I don't think you should feed that much protein (crickets) to this species of tortoise because already I see some pyraminding on the tortoises shell. Thanks for the video though, I like the rest of the ideas.

  • They had pyramiding when I bought them and tho it has a dietary factor, humidity also plays a role. They graze outdoors year round all day so when I make food for them it is a treat not a staple diet anymore. The pyramiding on my oldest tort is gone now so I dont believe it was dietary.

  • Don't give tortoises spinach. It's bad for them.

  • There is sno spinach in this recipe. What you see is collard and mustard greens and spring mix. As stated below, my torts graze outside on grass year round now, so when I prepare food it is a treat and not their only diet.

  • @Themohaned2000 The general rule with torts is to feed them as close to a natural diet as possible. The diet you are feeding is pretty unnatural! Try not to feed to many supermarket foods - garden weeds are better. Variety is also important as is supplementing the diet. Look up care sheets for your species in places like the World Chelonian Trust. . It's best to stick with things recommended by people like the tortoise protection group, the tortoise trust and the world chelonian trust.

  • @Themohaned2000 you should feed your tortoises dark leafy greens, and some vegetables every once in a while.

  • @puppyanddoglover99 Okay well, I'm not going to argue about this because I have a life to live. So bye

  • @MrHunter9511

    Well, Red foot and Elongated tortoises are omnivorous (they NEED protein)... And my greek tortoise did eat a cricket once (by accident), and it didn't do much damage... So I'm pretty sure that you can calm down now.......

  • @Britoe97 tortises are not omnivorous, well most of them aren't. ALL THE TORTISES I KNOW ARE HERBIVOROUS.

  • @MrHunter9511 Tortoises in the wild tend to eat whatever they can. They are omnivorous, not herbivorous. Kind of similar to turtles. Relax, I'm sure the owner know what he is doing.

  • You basically give them tomato's and carrots. I'm a turtle expert not a tortoise expert kids.

  • btw is there any other ingredients that i can give it to eat?

  • please respond soon!
