Hi, my name is Isabella and I recently adopted my little brother's tortoise, Vesta.
I have no idea what type of tortoise she is, can anyone tell me?
Also, my brother was feeding her only iceberg and romaine lettuce with the occasional fruit (strawberries) and veggies (carrots). I know lettuce has no nutrional value to carrots and I read online that carrots and strawberries aren't the best choices for tortoises either.
I have been feeding her a variety now, such as snap green beans, parsley, baby tomatos, and Timothy hay.
She seems to enjoy everything except the tomatoes! She will not touch them!
Sincerely,
Isabella and Vesta
