Hi,
We just got our first tortoise, Rocky, a spur-thighed tortoise.
He does not seem to be eating very much. In the time we have had him (4 days) he has eaten about as many dandelion leaves (4 - 6).
I offer leaves up twice a day but mostly they dry up uneaten.
He has been outside with access to grass and some dandelion but I have never seen him eating then either.
Should he be eating more than this? Should I be concerned?
He is 2 years old and weighs 194g. I will be weighing him weekly to ensure he does not drop weight.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
