I live in Southern California and have Russians, Greeks, Hermans, and Marginateds. For many years, I gave them defrosted frozen mixed vegetables with what seemed like no ill effects. However, a couple of years ago, I was told by a breeder of Marginateds and Greeks that the lima beans, string beans, and peas in the mixed vegetables cause kidney damage to the tortoises. Since that time, I have not fed my tortoises the mixed vegetables. Yet, I continue to see many ads on Kingsnake showing tortoises being fed mixed vegetables. Can anyone tell me what the story is on mixed vegetables? Is it safe to feed them to tortoises? Thanks
