Tortoise Food


This morning, my tortoise Hermann, started his daily routine—bask and eat and explore! This type of tortoise, (called a Hermann's Tortoise) is a vegetarian. He eats greens such as dandelions and red-leafed lettuce. In the picture above, the white speckles on his food is calcium. This needs to be fed to him about four times a week.

Hermann is starting to wake up from his winter mode. This means that he sleeps a lot. In the spring and summertime, Hermann is more energetic and playful. He loves to get out of his cage almost every day—we let him out around dinnertime.
