While feeding too much protein can be associated with too fast growth, pyramiding and kidney problems in redfoots, some animal protein in the diet seems to be beneficial.
Feeding them a completely herbivorous diet has been associated with neurological symptoms like dragging the hindlegs or similar problems with walking.
The Tortoise Trust recommends about 25 g of low-fat dried cat food, soaked in water, for a 9 kg adult, once a week.
If you feed a diet without animal protein,- maybe trying this might help!
Good luck, Gaby
