Hello,
I am new here and a new desert tortoise owner. I need help with all the feeding information I can get. I read that some just graze on the grass and weeds and some get fed. Should I be setting out a bowl of food for my tortoise Alfred every day? Twice a day? Every few days? Also what do I give him. Of course I have looked all this up but it seems so vague. We have dandelions all over our grass where he roams but he has only eaten a few. We have a mulberry tree but he’s not into the leaves. Only thing he has really liked was roaming and occasionally kale. I also have his little home lined with timmothy hay but he doesn’t eat that at all. But I read I need to limit that. I would greatly appreciate all the info.
