When it comes to chow time, I'll share with anyone who is hungry. Because I'm slow, that's why. (...and because I'm generous... and because it's the cat's food anyway...)

Cat food is the worst food you can offer a tortoise. That's why it is pyramided. Please get some info on the web on how to feed a Redfoot tortoise properly.
Pyramiding is very unhealthy for him. Tortoises need a good protein source, you have to be careful to not feed too much. Their digestive system can't handle that dry cat food, please don't let him eat that anymore.
I know you want the best for him, I'm only posting to be helpful.
Hi Anon, and thanks for the info about dry food. Remember, I live lavishly and get served healthy tortoise food, dried shrimp cocktail and often some gourmet tossed salad! This photo was borrowed from someone on the interwebs.
Got room for some bunnies?
