🍃 Diet & Feeding Guide – What to Feed Your Baby Pancake Tortoise
These guys are herbivores with a love for dry greens and a diet similar to other African tortoises, but they need a bit more fiber and a little less water-heavy produce.
✅ Ideal Diet:
-
Greens: Dandelion, collard, mustard, chicory, hibiscus leaves
-
Dry Matter: Orchard grass hay, timothy hay
-
Supplements: Calcium powder (2–3x weekly), multivitamins (once a week)
-
Water: Shallow soaking dish available at all times + biweekly soaks
🥦 Avoid too much fruit or watery lettuce — these guys are desert survivors, not salad bar fanatics.
