I recently switched Petrie from spinach and collard greens to spring mix and he just loves it. He chows down as soon as I put it out.
Last week I tried a piece of strawberry with him and all he did was sit on it to get to the spring mix. I figured that isn't a big deal since it was just a treat.
Then I had seen a bunch of posts about feeling cactus pads so I ordered some and they came today. I removed the last few spines and cut it up for him since he is so small. I put it in his food dish and expected him to go right to it. Nope he turned the other way and left it. I know the cactus is good for him and most people have said that there Tort's love it. So am I doing something wrong? Should I have left it whole or maybe have pureed it?
Any suggestions would be great.
