Justin.
why experiment with foods that by all accounts are listed as some of the worst foods you can feed a tort?
Some way too high in protein and others that block the absorbton of calcium into the system.

Are you going to supplement at all with calcium/minerals/vitamins?

Are you going to soak the hatchling or just have a water dish, or neither?

And are you going to feed those foods to the exclusion of *all* others?

It might be years before you know the results of that diet.
I would think you'll end up with shell deformities and internal (kidney,liver,renal) problems.

What is your prediction?
