* alligator snapping turtles (Macrochelys), Spotted turtles (Clemmys Guttata) and box turtles (Terrepene) are a protected species, and possession in most states is prohibited by law. I hold a state DNR license to use these turtles for educational purposes. They are not “pets”, and they are not for sale*

[@charlie_moorcroft]

Mushrooms are another food option for the redfoots . I buy organic mushrooms when they are on sale. It doesn’t happen often enough to become a regular staple but it’s definitely an appreciated offering when it happens.

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

[@haydenlucas2986]

You should name the black cherry head melon short for melanistic 🐢🍉

[@shamik_sathe]

Cute wittle toltoises.

[@marianieminen4256]

I like feeding fridays. 🐢

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Me too!

[@davidkelly1298]

Leopards are so cool looking. The coloring of that cooter you picked up look like flames on the sides of its face.

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Love the Young Tortoises 😊

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

They are the best!

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Yes they sure are 😊

[@afifazani5300]

Hurmmm. Need to get a juvenile redfoot. RM500 (100 dollar) here in Malaysia with license. Nice video.

[@heykinzu]

nice

[@haydenlucas2986]

Your collection has really exploded recently soon your gonna be rivaling kenan in tortoises

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

I’m not trying to rival anyone, but things have definitely grown.

[@thesnapperkeeper]

That’s awesome about the FSTs.They’re one of my personal favorites

[@charles8081]

Super info on feeding baby RFs, Thanks Much!!!!!

Turtles 🐢 🥰🥰 a red foot tortoise is on my list 🎸

[@geslinam9703]

I have had an 11” red foot. We found him on our back patio last week, eating cat food we put out for a feral cat. I posted all over my area about finding him, no one has claimed him, so likely he was abandoned. I don’t have any tortoise experience or knowledge, but I can see why people want to keep them as pets. He’s so cool. He has good energy. So calm and mellow. Taking him to a really good turtle sanctuary/rescue today, where he will be well cared for. (He looooves bananas!)

[@m0rktfh284]

I love those enclosures...so simple and yet so natural. Perfectly healty animals! Great videos to watch! :)

[@joseernestomartinezfernand8252]

Greg I love all your videos. I LOVE how you use all kind of plants to make your enclosures and tubs natural, and they have an amazing look. I love water plants and I use them in my ponds. I hope one day I can be able to do what you do with your animals and please show your iguana and snakes in the next feeding video.

[@MamaJ1997]

Loved the video Greg! You’ve been holding out on showing an iguana?! Yes please show it to us!

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Yea, I’ve showed it to my patreon members, He’s still flighty and stressed, and I want to wait until he’s a bit more calm before shoving cameras in his face

[@jimcostantino6244]

Always get good ideas just watching your videos.. like how that box turtle ate off of the gutter splash block .. great idea ! also love having my Redfoot and Cherryhead outside eating all summer its the best thing for them.

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

The gutter block I put out for cover when I’m expecting hatchlings

[@dibdej317]

Nice tortoise...your yard pond is great...how big is your yard with all this cool pet...

[@PondPuppies]

Would be honored to get one of your baby Cooters. Really wish you'd hop back on the classifieds!!! Promise I won't flip them lol

[@charleyswiersturtlefarm7553]

I'm supposed to get two red foot tortoises next week this video is awesome please do more

[@charlie_moorcroft]

Oh and great video as usual.

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Thanks Charlie!

[@shamik_sathe]

Dude, you should visit(my native country) india, we have tons of turtle diversity. India is in one of the top 5 countries with highest turtle biodiversity.

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

I’d love to when things are safer 👍🏼

[@shamik_sathe]

@@GregsTurtleHaven cool

[@slowpoke4557]

Am I the only one that has never heard of a turtle food called Missouri? In gonna have to look that up now

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Mazuri, they make foods for all kinds of animals

[@slowpoke4557]

@@GregsTurtleHaven I just looked them up and watched a few of the videos they have (I swear the pronunciation is messing with me lol). It looks like it is a very good turtle food and the fact that you're endorsing it has me willing to give it a shot, thank you!

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Ha, tell them I sent you 🤣

[@Shaden0040]

Will tortoises eat lery and is it good for them?

[@ProgressiveDiscussions]

Does the Cherry head tortoise also from tropical Latin America have red legs also? I would probably get a male since they end up being smaller than the female. Plus this species likes humidity unlike the desert tortoises, which is ideal on the East and Gulf Coast states. I believe these tortoises are omnivorous. Unfortunately people still need to buy those pricey UV incandescent bulbs which burn out frequently.

[@reptilemetaljen]

What are the leaves/greens floating in the baby cooter pond?

[@mindygillmor6541]

Can they eat beet greens?

[@rd4660]

Greg, why do you feed your turtles lettuce and not collards/cabbage/mustard greens? Just curious.

[@slowpoke4557]

He doesn't mention it but I've always heard to never feed a turtle or tortoise iceberg lettuce

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

I said in the video, I rotate the greens I feed. Today happened to be green leaf lettuce. I also feed Collards, spring mix, romaine, green and red leaf, dandelion, mulberry leaves, and many others

[@davisbenn2179]

Do you ever put meal and super worms in with the mix or do you avoid that altogether?

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Nah, they can forage for things like that. Occasionally I’ll give them freeze dried krill and mazuri croc

[@btpuppy2]

The ingredients in that Mizuri is like bad dog food - terrible

[@bonnieparker785]

What is Missouri?
