Chris,
I really don't like any of commercial tortoise foods but I have used rep-cal in the winter. My redfoots became stubborn after my parents cared for them and spoiled them with bananna and dogfood for two weeks! Teach your animal good eating habits early, don't be afraid to let it get a little starved! Keep soaking, offer greens and a little fruit but hold off on the meat/protein for awhile.


: Hello
: I got a baby red foot here about a week ago. So far all I have been able to get him to eat is ZooMed canned tortoise food (and a very little mango). Is this okay for him, if he turns out to be very stubborn, or what else should I do?
: Here are the ingredients:
: Apple, corn meal, whole peas, opuntia cactus, dried carrot, dextrose, sotbean meal, bone meal, brewers yeast, kelp powder, gums, apple flavoring, vitamin mix,
: Analysis:
: Protien minimum: 3.0%
: Fat minimum: 0.5%
: Fiber minimum: 1.0%
: Moistur maximum: 78%
: Thanks
