How often do I feed my baby red foot tortoise

I have a baby red foot tortoise he is only about 2inches I'm concerned as to how much he should be eating a day because I don't want to over feed. I feed him fruit one day leafy greens another and vegetable then protein but again I don't know how much of each and how often to feed!

Feeding a baby red foot
by: Anonymous

Just feed your baby red footed tortoise the same food you would give the parents. Just chop it fine. Keep food available and the baby will eat what it needs. It isn't likely to overeat if you provide the correct food.

Over time, increase the size of the food pieces so it can get used to eating bigger bits.

Good luck.
