Hello,
I have two 9 month old Russian tortoises, they are kept indoor in a 2' x 3' feet enclosure (Zoo Med Tortoise House), I have provided 100W UVB light (Zoo Med PowerSun UV), turtle bone, water and real mini cactus providing shade the enclosure is in front of a window which has direct sun light, once a week I take them outside on the grass for about an hour, my question problem they won’t eat anything but T-rex Tortoise Dry Formula and iceberg lettuce which I read it has no nutritional value.
I have tried Zoo Med Natural Grassland Tortoise food even though on the label it says Russian tortoise they won’t even go near this product, I thought it could be a bad one so I returned and got another one same result, tried Zilla Fortified Food Land Turtle and Tortoise and Zilla Reptile Munchies Fruit Mix food same result they won’t eat.
Have tried romaine lettuce, red leaf lettuce, endive, cabbage, cucumber, tomato, apple, banana and maybe few other they won’t eat anything except T-rex Dry formula and iceberg lettuce any ideas, suggestions?
