Hi Everyone! New to this forum thought it would be a great idea to come say hello and maybe get some advise as I'm a very stressed mother haha I panic over everything and that I'm doing everything right for 3 month old Tort ( SJ).
WWhen I first got SJ it would eat every day and wake up. Then SJ just started over sleeping and not waking daily for food so I'd wake him each time just to make him eat something. Then I thought I'm going to see what would happen if I didn't wake him and now he wakes on his own but every other day. He doesn't drink so I bath and soak him once a week.
Also, he use to eat Kale, rocket, spinach, lettuce(small doses mixed in), pepper, tomato, cucumber, dandilion and the occasional grape. But now all he eats is lettuce.If I don't give him lettuce then he won't eat and it'll be for days so I always give in. Eating something I suppose is better then eating nothing.
He always has pellets and dried flowers/fruit in another bowl but doesn't touch them either.
WWhat am I doing wrong here? Literally love this Tortoise like my baby haha
