When I got my very first redfoot it would only eat fruits as well. I blended a small amount of fruit with a little water to make a dressing. Then I drizzled it over his greens; for a few months this was the only way I offered fruit to him. Now days all my tortoises regularly turn down fruit for greens. Maybe thay would help.Thanka for sharing the information, this is really helpful for me. I have the temperature gun, I usually test the air temp without the red point, and use the red point to test my RFT body temperature. The air is about 87F which I sit for 88-86, the body temperature is usually 85-88F. I keep the substrate dry, and on other side there is humidifier working to keep the whole tank humidity above 70%. I do not know how to get him to eat except the fruits, when I place fruits like mango, papaya he eat a lot, but when I place green leaf he only eat little, and the pellets, animals protein he doesn’t eat at all. I’m still try to get him to eat except fruit, I tried mix them, but still not change.
Again, thanks for you sharing your information.
