Pear (Fruit)

 Feed Sparingly
  • Common Name: Pear (Fruit)
  • Latin Name: Pyrus spp.
  • Family Name: Rosaceae
Not all species of chelonia are fruit eaters, so the fruit of the Pear should be only offered as a small part of the diet to tortoises and turtles that would naturally have fruit in their diet.  Pear pips/seeds, like the pips/seeds and stones of other fruit should be avoided.  See Pear (Tree).
