picky eater

Hello, my tortoise is very young. Two months exactly today! Anyways, I have a variety of food I feed it. This variety is (carrot, apple, aloe, iceberg lettuce, and Roman lettuce) I make it like a salad with everything in it. What I don’t like is how I put so much work into it and Rosie will only...

Hello everyone! :) About a year ago my dad came home with 4 tortoises, 3 Sulcatas and 1 (baby) Homopus Areolatus (Padloper). The Padloper fell into my care a few months after that day. I finally got a job, so it was about time I started focusing hard on helping the little bugger not only...

I have a 6 year old, male, horsefield. A couple of weeks ago he decided to become extremely picky eating only banana and apple, we found this out through experimenting with different foods. We've also tried finely chopping and mixing foods together but he'll not touch it. This seems so strange...

I recently started introducing Harry weeds from outside (chemical-free), such as: dandelions, violets, plantain, deadnettle, chickweed. He is about 7-8 months. He LOVES the flowers of dandelions and violets, but nibbles at the others and goes back to his hide or to bask. I got him in Dec of...

Which is how my problem started - Lumos got addicted to Romain Lettuce. *Face Palm* I tried everything - straight up removing the lettuce: he wouldn’t eat, and on day four...

I have had my desert tortoise for 25 years. This year she will no longer eat lettuce but will eat grapes. She has become very picky. Does any body have any ideas.?

I recently inherited a (what I believe to be) ornate box turtle. I've read that their diet should be pretty much 50/50 greens and protein. He goes nuts for some worms, but won't touch any greens. I feel like I've tried absolutely everything. I didn't feed him for a few days and then offered him...

So I have had my tortoise for a while now and in the beginning I only fed it lettuce, when I tried to feed it dandelion leaves or fruits all it would eat are apples and lettuce, is there a way I can get it to eat more? it also has brown around its mouth.

My Russian tortoise is a picky eater he only wants to eat is radicchio and Endive and won't eat his dark leafy greens until that's gone is it's okay should I be adding something to make sure his diet is correct
