: Hello. I have a Baby 1 year Spur Tortoise, and wanted to know how much I should be feeding him. I have been feeding him daily for the past year, but have heard that I should start to feed every other day, so I can have a slow steady growth. What do I do ?? Please help ??

DAN-
Marissa is probably right about the "moderation" thing. Personally tho, I just can't stand the idea of anything in my care "going to bed" hungry. Basically,its just a lotta common sense, if your boy is getting fat, cut back. I've never once "measured" out "Edwards" food, I'll just watch him eat until he gets bored with it & wanders off-(then remove it)-. Vet says he's healthy as a horse & is always amazed at how outgoing & active he is-(even in strange surroundings like the vets office). Always going from person to person looking for a "handout". At the very worst, he may be a bit "spoiled".
