*can tortoises over eat and get fat?*
Hi all! We have a debate rn in my family and I need some help! I got Theo almost two weeks ago and he’s been doing great especially with food. He’s sorta picky about the what but once it’s something he likes he’ll literally just keep on eating. My mom says to keep feeding him until he stops eating because that means he’s hungry. I know our other animals (two dogs six guinea pigs) don’t really feel full and our lab especially will eat until he gets sick. I’m trying to keep Theo to eating a shell sized handful of mixed greens a day for now since we don’t have weeds growing yet. He also gets calcium and everything. My mom and my fiancé both think that they can’t get fat anyway so it doesn’t matter. I’m just not totally sure and it’s now a huge debate so, can they get fat? Do they over eat or do they feel full?
