Hey Guys,

I posted a new thread but it seems to have not gone through - so here's my attempt number 2!

I have recently bought 2 sulcata babies and have been feeding them lettuce and exo terra tortoise pellets. However, my babies don't seem to be eating the pellets and are more keen on the lettuce. I want to balance out their diet so starting today I have stopped feeding them lettuce in order to see if they will eat the pellets. I soak these pellets in the water as they are a bit hard and not easy for the babies to eat however this is not helping either. I am wondering if anyone else feeds them these types of pellets and if there are other ways to make it easier for the tortoises to eat them? They do try and have a go at biting into the soaked pellets but then they just give up and walk away - is this normal?

Thanks for the help! :):tort:
