My tortoise seems to like pasta a lot but should I just feed him lettuce and fruit?

    hello

    avoid
    All fruit (although fruit is often recommended, its sugar content can lead
    to parasite blooms....just not worth it) the exception is apples due to the high quantity of pectin....but still not frequently.
    Iceberg lettuce
    Bok Choy
    All grains (including bread, pasta etc)
    Dog and cat food
    Meat
    All human food except what's been listed as "good"
    Pellet food in pet stores

    There is more at the sight. Poisonous foods and plants etc. Read up! I have 2 box turtles and they are fantastic pets but difficult to find help when they are sick unless you educate yourself beforehand Good luck
    Make sure you have a vet in the area that will see your tortoise. Few vets know how to care for them properly. Look up Tortoise and turtle rescue and clubs or orgs. near you for info and vet referrals.

    hope it helps
