    Is it normal for my tortoise to eat all day?

    I know with my girl, she will eat anything and everything I give her. I also know it's not enough for when she is outside she runs off eating more. I have to keep chasing after her and bring her back too. She is worse than my puppy lol. And he will eat everything also. Lol
