African Pancake Tortoise (Malacochersus tornieri)In captivity, pancake tortoises will graze on low plant leaves as broadleaf weeds and clover (dandelions are a favorite). Vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash can be added to the diet for variety, but fruit should generally be avoided. In an indoor enclosure, they do well on a staple diet of spring mix. All of our available pancake tortoises are captive bred and hatched at our state of the art facility.
