How often do you feed your tort dog food?

My understanding is one should only feed once a week at the most. (Others feel free to jump in). Too much dog good = trouble with bladder stones and other health issues. Too little is also not good for them as with humans.



You want to keep your temperatures above 60 – 65F. My yellow foots have trouble below about 65F (They get a cold and have trouble digesting food). I keep my Yellow Foots between about 70F and 80F (they do not like it any hotter than 80 – they instead try to climb out of their box and hide under my bed (Coolest place in the house). I also have a 250W heater on a thermostat to keep them toasty warm.
