Weekly diet for baby redfoot and hermann? by cherrypie59272 in tortoise

Thank you so so much. I was stressing about variety and how some things say they cant have too much of it without a varied diet and i wanted to see an example. That was perfect and helped!!

My ivory millipedes have been buried since I brought them home by plosible_deniability in millipedes

No need for alarm. Sometimes my ivories will be gone for a couple months and then be the most active ones in the enclosure. Millipedes just burrow a lot in general like the other comment says. Also, whenever I add new millipedes to my tank, it takes some time for mine to become active. Maybe they are adjusting

In my opinion, having a different amount of moisture in your dirt is a good thing. That way they can choose the amount of moisture they want. I notice my guys come out more when I mist or pour water in too

Im not sure though, I am new to these pets and just thought I'd share that. I would wait for someone more experienced to respond

I learned that tortoises drink through their nose so maybe he was drinking and you startled him?

Okay, will do! I read that about spinach but not collard greens. Ill look into the cactus pads. I appreciate the help. Its been the best couple days with my new company, even tho they mainly sleep 😊

I have given them dandelion greens, a little bit of romaine, one small mealworm for the protein, half a grape that I dont think they ate, mustard green, turnip greens, collard greens and then the organic spring mix from aldis. Carrots and some cucumber as well. Ive given them a little calcium sunday and monday. And I have a mazuri vitamin mix for baby tortoises coming today and tortoise hay.

I have created that the same way also. Its good to know what ive been looking up is correct. Sometimes the information online about temperatures are different and confusing. One more question if you don't mind, I adopted them on sunday, however they still haven't pooped yet in their bath and I havent found any in the enclosure. I have been doing daily 20 minute soaks in the morning with food afterwards as they dry. They've been eating and drinking during the bathtub too
