Has anyone noticed different tort species eat different? My leopard eats quick and he chomps and pulls with great strength. My kinixys eats relaxed and slow, eating mushrooms etc with no worry in the world.
I've seen sulcatas eat quick and powerful, but it's different than leopards.
Is this true?

I've seen SAME species eat differently.
So I'll bet that different species do it too to some extent. Especially with comparing a grazing species to an opportunistic omnivore.
