  • I thought I'd make a video giving people ideas of what they can feed their Testudo genus tortoises. Tortoises in this genus would include Hermann's, Greek, Marginated, and Egyptian tortoises but the items fed in this video could certainly be fed to your Russian, sulcata, and leopard tortoises as well. This video takes you through individual feedings over a few weeks. The key to feeding properly is two-fold - feed a large variety of foods and feed the right kind of foods. Don't just stick to only romaine or Mazuri. Even those types of foods make it easier for us keepers, it's not good for the tortoises to just stick to a few things. I give specific examples of what types you can feed but this video does not cover it all. There are hundreds of different kinds of foods you can feed your Testudo type tortoise and with a little research, it's easy to figure out.

    Thanks for the video. I just got my baby Hermann tortoise 2 months ago and I've been meaning to add more variety to his diet

      My Herman’s tortoise loves sweet potatoes. Should I limit the amount of sweet potatoes she eats?

    Maybe you can use a grater like a cheese grater to knock the spines off too?

    I have a Greek tortoise and she's still pretty small, when will she get larger? Or even full size? This is our first tortoise and we love her.
    When you feed the weeds is there anything that we should avoid? I have those prickly plants in my yard and I'd worry about it for our tortoise. I really appreciate your video

    Hi
    Do you feed marginated tortoise every day or 3 times a week?🐢

    Your tortoises are practically running. Are your speeding up the video?

    I have a 6 month old western hermann's and he always turns his nose up at Mizuri feed. He only ever wants to eat the fresh produce.
