Hi,

don't want to try out but does anyone know whether Red-eared Slider could digest old aged cheese, goat or feta cheese? What about dairy products with lactase? So called dairy-free products? Is lactose the only problem?

Kind regards

Reptiles wouldn't be able to digest lactose at all, they do not produce lactase.
I am not certain if the proteins found in dairy products can be digested by reptiles.
