? Tortoises can eat rice, but rice can not be used as staple food, and do not feed it frequently. Rice has a single nutritional component, which is not helpful to the growth of turtles.

In addition, it should be supplemented with calcium regularly. Lack of calcium can easily lead to diseases such as soft nails.
