FRESH VEG NEEDED…

ESPECIALLY KALE!

This is Tortellini, our resident Russian Tortoise.

He is a ferocious plant eater. Kale leaves quake in his presence.

We have three turtle friends: Grouchy and Sweetie (red-eared sliders), and Tortellini (Russian tortoise). They are all on a natural raw diet which mainly consists of fresh, leafy greens! If you have any veggies from home or want to purchase and donate food items - it is much appreciated! Please bring donations directly to Ms. Kohler in the lab. The below list are their favorite staples. Thank you for helping keep our beloved school pets well nourished!
