I love your videos! Your voice and style of videos are so organized and relaxing! Without context people will think you are growing weed for smoking🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hi I really like your video. Can i ask this question why is it that some people say dont feed your tortoise on salads only weeds ? My breeder thats been breeding tortoise for over 20years said you can feed your tortoise on salads? It's really confusing as i feed my 4 month old salad with dandelions. Kind regards Josh
in Canada, we have snow :( and i'm thinking about getting a leopard tortoise... is there any way i could grow everything indoors? please reply. :) thanks
I'm in Canada and I am also a gardener as well as a new tortoise owner. You could grow everything indoors for a tort but I think you would have a big light bill to do it. I run a 600 watt HID light to grow in a 4 X 4 foot area. Costs me $29 a month. I'm growing orchids, cactus, bromeliads, geraniums and some other plants in that area. My tortoise gets a bit of over flow from the grow area but no where near what she eats. One of the best foods for torts seems to be plantain. It grows like a weed out doors, because it is a weed, but I have never tried growing it indoors. I will save seeds from wild one this summer and try to grow it indoors next winter. Now I am now sprouting barley seeds. I will try oats and wheat at some point. I am hopeful that sprouted seeds will be good food in the winter. It's not easy giving tortoises a good diet up north.
You can grow anything inside, I grow from collards to Cannabis, just don't cheap out on the light, just like the torts, they need correct lighting to thrive too.
Sure, will do 😊! I'm working on a bunch of videos at the moment (these ones are taking a little longer than normal, but I'm still hoping to post a new video every 1-2 weeks!). Thanks for your support 😊🐢
Awesome video! I'm getting my first tortoise tomorrow (Spur Thighed). Loads of helpful information! Many thanks

because salad has little to no nutritional value. it's basically crunchy water, which isn't bad, but leopard tortoises need a high fibre diet.
Do you feed them the brown plantain leaves or the dirty looking ones?
Where can you buy the fibre mix or do you make it yourself?
I bought it on-line... (from shelled warriors)
I've not thought of making it myself... now that's an idea! 😂 I might just have to give that a go! 🐢

Don't you worry that dogs might have pee'd on the weed picked from the side of a path? This is what puts me off.
