Feeding!


Our turtles are also individualists in the nutrition. By all different eating they are however gladly. Therefor the types belong: Dandelion, clover, fat hen, Akelei, mulberryleafs (fresh or drying), salad, radish pages, cucumbers Tomatoes. Popular fruit are apples, pears, nectarines, melons, plums, cherries (without stone) etc.. Bones and also snails as animal products are very important. Afra with her simple Overbite loves above all thistles and herbs hard pages. Caesar and Iffi are in love with conserved corn (well-being washed in the water, because it is salty).They also want cabbage, but only in June, July and in small quantity. Paula wants mulberryfruits, melons and figs. It is the fodder envy who force the small Turtles to eat what is offered to them. The desire on certain plants changes in the process of the summer. Which is greedily assumed in May and June, they disdain in August. Someone do not like carrots, strawberries (only Iffi and Paula), cooked rice, Herbs (neither bean herb, sage or parsley ), and citrus fruit.

Very important !

Tortoise needs alternation. It is necessary that feed is not contaminated with insecticide or fertilizer. Fruits are Sweets, give it rarely and only in small quantities. Herbs surch always faraway from traveled roads. Vegetables with Oxalat ("beloved" Tomatoes)should be given extremely reserved. The reason for it is that Tortoise have inability to concentrate urine (they do not have a bladder!) and in such a way the main load is appropriate on the kidneys < p>The green fodder of our environment can lie for two days and become withered - in Greece there is full green only a short time - our herbs are too "fat". There is only one Tabu:Fod may never get mouldy!!!

Recently they get hay pellets of the company Agrobs.Those can be ordered by E-mail.
