Hi,
Has anyone thought about feeding their Red Foot (or Yellow Foot) tortoise on shrimp legs (take off the head, remove the top shell and feed them the legs and the bit they legs come out of). This would be very high in Calcium and relatively low in protein.

The reason I ask – My two Yellow foots refuse to eat any food with the smallest bit of calcium added and have been trying to find different ways to get them to take more calcium.
