The old way -
Incorrect Diet
Most of the
tortoises kept in the UK are vegetarian!
Some tropical
tortoises are omnivorous – These generally should only be kept by specialists!
In the past (and
even today) I hear about people who feed their Greek tortoises on Fruit,
Vegetables, cat biscuits, Dog food
and Eggs.
Greek tortoise -
Confusing – what species is this? It probably needs identifying!
Vegetables – A
few are ok, lots you would automatically think are good are habit forming and
not very healthy for a tortoise to live on!
Cat biscuits,
Dog food, eggs, dairy produce – Very dangerous – and totally unhealthy
