Recently started to look into needs for the Leopard and Red Foot Tortoise (Seem to be more common and I don't want a huge tortoise like a Sulcata). Have many years experience with herps, just not tortoises.
So a few questions about their diets.
Provided I get one as a Baby. Can anyone link me a website or tell me roughly HOW much to feed them? I see things like. Feed babies daily until about 1 year. Then move to 2-4 times a week. But never said how much each feeding. Do they stop eating when full?
Also when adding the d3 supplement. How much is usually a good amount, a pinch or 2?
I also have Herptivite d3 supplement with a calcium supplement for my green basilisk. Is the Herptivite sufficiant for the d3 needs? Or is there a specific Tortoise d3 supplement.
Also growth rate, which I can't seem to find for the life of me. I know it varies on diet, the tortoise, conditions etc, like anything. But if I get a baby tortoise, 2-4". In 2-3 years how big can I expect it to be? Thanks for the info and any other info would be appreciated!
