    Is it normal for my tortoise to eat all day?

    I had started a thread concerned because I had read about them being able to get fat and saw some photos. I guess from what I take that is mostly from fruits and meats if you feed them any sort of meaty bugs. But if the diet ids primarily veggies then we are good.

    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
