That’s nasty.
I’ve accidentally left pieces of lettuce out for a /few/ days, as in 2-3, but they’ve never done that. The lettuce probably rotted.

Be sure that you take out uneaten food ever day, or if there’s a bit left that your tortoise didn’t eat, I usually leave it for the morning after when my tortoise’ll eat it.

Sometimes tortoises pee on their food to keep other tortoises from eating it.

I've wondered about this, my RF has a habit of peeing in his food bowl.
