savoy cabbage

anna m · 29-12-2009, 01:23 PM

On another forum they said it was ok to feed savoy cabbage to tortoises and that the Tortoise Trust said it was ok. I don't remember this and can't find it. I said I would check with you.
I do remember reading that they could have Curly Kale and Collard Greens. My 2 hate Kale and ignore it and what the dickins are Collard Greens? They don't deliver them from Tesco. So it's lettuce, lettuce

I differ slightly from Kelly as it is something that I would feed on occasion. Its not any good as a regular food source, but once a month or so I would feed it.

I agree about the oxalates hence the occasional feeding of it.

I to feed it once in a while, but try to level out all throughout the week. I don't feed savoy weekly but what I'm trying to say is if I feed something like with high oxalates due to other beneficial properties eg high calcium then I'd make sure all other foods fed that period were low in oxalates. These aren't fed often but add to variety and in my beliefs a better all round diet.
