MI wanted to let y’all know that tort seems to be doing quite well. Very curious about everything and whenever I make a commotion setting something up in the tub, always comes out to presumably yell at me to get off the lawn.
I have some concerns regarding feeding, but they suuuuuuure don’t have me as freaked out as a couple of days ago!
It really likes when I hand feed it. Like.. it’s really really spoiled. It will kind of go eat in its own, but normally I’ll hand it a piece then decides that it’s hungry and goes over to the food dish. Perhaps this is must because I can’t watch it 24/7. Although I might be close.
More concerning is its curiosity to put everything in its mouth. The odd rock in the substrate is attacked; sometimes tries to eat the orchid bark too. Idk if taste might be aT better word than eat.
Finally it… misses its target a lot? Like I’m holding something out and it comes for a bite, but just has the angle all wrong or misses entirely.
Am I just tripping and no need to be concerned because it’s like what three months old or what? Especially the substrate taste testing.
