Hey! I am hoping someone can help me here...
I adopted two Sonoran Desert Tortoise yearlings from a buddy, they seem to have a real preference for romaine and lettuce. I have tried kale, turnip greens, and collards with no luck. Should I cut back on the daily feeding? With our temps in the triple digits I am leery to do so with their size and metabolism.
They are being kept outdoors, I live in Mesa and are in an outdoor enclosure that is 48" x 64". The photos show the substrate that I am using and I am going to attempt to put a patch of bermuda grass in the enclosure. I saw the diet sheet that is posted and I am trying to get these little ones off to a good start.
Has anyone correlated pyramiding to diet in this species? I also read that it was associated with humidity.
Thanks for your input.
Bob
