Okay so I have had my Russian Tortoise for a few months now (about 6 months) and I've of course tried different foods and one that I tried and are really confused about is Kale. Now most (if not all) of the places that I looked on for food ideas said that Kale was a good choice. So I tried it...

Ok cool thank you. I just wanted to make sure.

I mean I feed my Tortoise daily. Tell me if I'm wrong to do that. But he's hungry every day. Just saying because they say that they feed them twice a week, sometimes once a week and rarely once a month. I mean please tell me if I'm feeding my little guy too much.

Hello, I am brand new to the Forum and to having a Tortoise. A couple day ago I got a about 4 and a half year old Russian Tortoise. At first he would not eat and it took him a couple days to start eating. But finally he started doing it on his own. (But he really loves lettuce.) Anyways, I read...
