Is Red Cabbage good for a Russina Tortoise?

Red Cabbage is all that little punk wants to eat. I been dusting it with the calcium d3 powder at least.

Hell yeah that red cabbage is good for it! He'll be all like....I'm hungry you fool, GIVE ME THAT CABBAGE!
Reply:Sure why not? If the turtle loves the red cabbage and nothings happening to him go for it!
Reply:Excessive feeding of cabbage can be detrimental to your tortoise, especially if overused, because excessive amounts of this contribute to kidney disease and goiter.



Also, think about if you just ate nothing but a hamburger patty every day for the rest of your life.......

Malnutrition, you wouldn't get a variety of foods and nutrients.

Not very good at all for you and I doubt your body would hold out for very long.



It's really hard when a reptile is that picky, I had some problems with one of my tortoises who was only fed all the wrong things, and i had to nurse the little guy back to health by weaning him off of his bad diet. Try mixing cilantro, shredded carrots, dandelion greens, collards, turnip greens, red and green leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, chickweed, plantain weed, carrot tops, red lettuce, endive, fig leaves, grape leaves, squashes, grapes, petunia, pansies, chives, dandelion, roses and hibiscus. (just be wary of flowers that might have been pesticide dusted-natural food stores or plants at home is where I will get mine)

Cilantro has a strong scent and i've found that many different types of reptiles like it, and i've seen them all inhale rose petals and hibiscus, the bright red color and the taste really attracts them, you might find some luck mixing that in to wean him off of it.



good luck with the picky tortoise!
Reply:generally speaking color-full greens are good for Russian tortoises but you must supplement them
