Feeding and Nutrition :: Apple peel

[novroz]

Someonne in this forum (I forgot who) told me that apple peel contains a lot of vitamin E that will help turtle shed her scute.

I forgot to ask, how often am I allowed to feed my babies apple peels?? Is it okay if give them daily? or is it only for once a week?

Thx I don't want to feed them the wrong way ever again

Everything is fine in moderation! I would say as long as you don't overdo it, and you aren't feeding additional sweet foods, you could easily give a few slivers daily to keep the vitamin E uptake up. You can also throw in some blueberries as well because they are also high in vitamin E.

Blueberry isn't our native fruit and therefore it's so hard to find.

Thank you for the info
