    I read some time ago that eating a lot of fish product can cause urinary tract problem for cats. Also tuna is a bit somewhat contaminated with mercury.

    I never read that. Our vet said it was OK, so I'll go with that. She also eats kibble.

    He is little now...only about 8in. shell. He is just 3 years old.  But he will get up to 100 lbs. An sulcata tortoise. Eats one head of romaine lettuce a day.  We have started mixing in turtle feed in as well.

      Do turtles eat very slowly?

    No. He eats about half in 5 mins and grazes on the rest throughout the day.

    Depends on if they get sick - insurance sometimes doesn't cover everything. If they stay well, about $130. We have a zoo - 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 frogs and a cockatiel.
