I also have a pair of yearling cb impressa, recently acquired - can you share some of your experience with them ? Oyster mushrooms as the staple diet with fruit, or what ? And what sort of housing are you using ?

Hello,
I do feed them oyster mushrooms, portabellas, [bleep]akes and button mushrooms mixed with their tortoise diet. My diet consists of greens(mustards, kale, and collards), carrots, yam, corn, tomato, and the mushroom mix.The diet has both calcium and vitamin mixed into it. They get fruit 2-3 times a week and diet 2-3 times a week. So, they get food pretty much everyday because their enclosure has a huge pathos that provides shade but they also eat it. I house them on shredded cypress/peat mix. I spray them once to twice a week heavily. They are soaked a couple of times a week and have a large shallow water dish always available. Hope this helps
