Hi everyone
I have a baby Russian (horsfield) tortoise that’s less than a year old. He/she is a very fussy eater.
so far will eat:
Lettuce
Cucumber
Carrot
will not eat:
Strawberry
Tomatoe
Dried tortoise flowers from reptile shop
Tortoise food
Broccoli
Cauliflower
I have bought calcium powder and vitamin powder which I sprinkle over the food, it then won’t touch it. From a previous thread someone mentioned I was putting too much. This has improved, so I’m pleased herbie getting what he needs.
I have left the food and not changed it thinking he will go back to it when hungry, but doesn’t.
not sure what to do?
