Cruiser is ready to gobble till he wobbles this week.

Red-footed tortoises are omnivores, so Cruiser receives a daily diet of mixed fruits and veggies alongside a protein-rich pellet formulated for a tortoise’s nutritional needs. Cruiser prefers his tortoise chow pellets soaked, making him a happy, messy eater!
