How diverse is her diet? George is used to trying new things. I think variety is essential. Right now, George and I are snacking on these amazing purple organic carrots! Mmmm!
Speaking of carrots, I logged on to ask: is the green part of the carrot, the top, OK to feed her? Looks tasty to me, very leafy and green.
But everything I have read says going RES don't tend to eat veggies.
Pft. Tell that to George. She eats everything but again, she's accustomed to a diet full of variety. She eats everything. Sometimes she tries to eat my finger (looks like salmon to her, I guess).
They lean more toward meat due to their need for proteins for shell growth and other physiological functions.
She definitely is a protein-aholic, but I allow daily portions of it in moderation. I'm sure she'd love more, but I don't want her body to grow too quickly for her shell. She's getting big, big ol' huge happy feet. She's hilarious.
