Hey thanks for you’re reply - I put a pile of leaves out for my baby Shelly every morning - and she eats until she has had enough - but once she has had a bath at around 2 she then goes back to the food dish looking for more so I replace her left overs dried out leaves and put a fresh pile out...
thank you so much joes mum ?
once againyou have been extremely helpful
and that’s exactly what I do each morning- a mould of greens and then at around 1 I pick up all the remaining left overs and out another fresh mild outas I can tell she wants to eat again as she goes to her food again...

Hey Tom
thanks again for replying attached is a pic of the pallet food I bought her( but have not been feeding her Also both the thermometer hun and bulbs arrived today so I will set both up ready for the morning
Mine is a baby and I just want her to grown strong and big ??? thanks for you help - I too have started growing my own flowers to help with her diet - I don’t to gardening so only have indoor windowsill ones and have a variety of 6 to help feed her ☺️? but here’s shelly
I have a Greek spur thighed tortoise and she weighs 23.5 grams and is now 5 months old - although I’ve only had her since Christmas Eve- but she loves pellets - I have only fed her 5 as after reading more about them - some people say never to feed them them
I get mixed reviews on feeding my baby Shelly pellets everyday, as a treat or not at all - but she loves them - I gave her 4 pellets when I first got her and she demolished them - but when I continued reading everyone would say different things - what would you recommend?
thank you so much for all your help Tom
It’s much appreciated
I have looked through the care sheet and as far as I can see I have picked the below bulbs that should be fine to go with the ZooMed light strip I have
please can you confirm? As I want to get the right fit my baby Shelly❤️
I will...
