Supermarket foods are junk foods for torts. Far better to feed dried weeds. And some weeds you can get then, such as Bittercress, and tree mallow. Weeds if grown in a sunny sheltered place can and do survive colder temps:0) |
I had weeds all through the winter and while they were asleep dried them. Sadly they turned their noses up when they came out of hibernation, so I was up early hunting for fresh weeds and did resort to some lambs lettuce as a treat.
