Good looking guy! Yea making a salad is not that hard. Takes me about 5 minutes to throw one together for my baby beardie and his dish gets washed everyday and his salad has to be chopped up very small.... With a tort you could just toss it all in there and he does the chopping lol.

when they babies it is best to chop it up a bit but at his current size i don't need to do any chopping

Sam gets mazuri tortoise diet once a week in addition to fresh veggies, the salad bit really isn't that bad at all, basically i feed him primarily collards, dandelion greens, green leaf lettuce, and radicchio in addition to occasional fruit like bananas, strawberries (his favorite), blueberries, and cantaloupe. vitamin and calcium supplements are given twice a week. buying all this stuff has even encouraged me to eat healthier I know it sounds like a pain but it is definitely worth it, Redfoots make amazing pets!

I think you could spice its diet a bit more but what your using its good none the less. However lets take that letuce out and repace it with turnip greens, mustard greens, butternut squach, water cress and spine less Opuncia. You can also use mango and papaya in adition to thouse fruits.

the lettuce is only on rare occasions, and come to think of it i have given him papaya and mango in the past Ill try to give them to him more often. I also forgot to add that he does get super worms every once in a great while

Ok, but I would really avoid the worms, there is no advantage of you using them.

maybe not nutritionally, but he really seems to enjoy them and he only gets them once or twice a year
