Calling all horsefield tortoise owners! Diet question...?

I will answer the vegetable question. Little to none , by that I mean once or twice a month and no more, the main reason is that vegetables are higher in sugars and protein then what a russian diet should be. Vegetables to feed are usually in the squash family, they are lower in sugar and higher in fiber, no carrots as they are really high in sugars. You should avoid vegetables if at all possible. mine get some home grown squash once a month no more no less. here is my diet for mine leaves and flowers, ( hibiscus,g,squash,radish,mulberry,da… this list is for the leaves and flowers of the plant, not any fruit they produce. figs leaves are also a good choice.
