I have a picky little tort. I changed his tank from a 15 gallon to a 40 gallon. He has his uvb light which is spread across the tank. Humidity stays at about 89%-95. The overall temps range from 83-89. Basking is at 95-100. I use a CHE now at night to regulate his night temps so they do not fall below 81. Water is accessible everyday at all times and I soak once or twice a day as long as he is up and about for about 25-30 min. Everything is fine for him but I feel like anything I try he won't eat. He hates kale, grass, hay, carrots, bell peppers. He just won't touch them. Today I gave him a mix of arugula, bell peppers (first time), carrots (first time), dandelion greens, grass. And he had like one bite of the dandelion green and that was it. Left it there to waste. He eats the dandelion greens just fine when I just put a whole leaf but it seemed like he got tired of them b/c he started to leave them be as well. I used to give him prickly pear cactus as well and he didn't eat that either. Sometimes I give him Mazuri but he'll only have about three bites of it and then that's it. I have also given him tortoise grassland good specifically for leopards and he dislikes it as well. I've tried and tried but nothing seems to work so if anyone has a better list of food please send it my way. I don't want him to starve and prolong his growth. I'm just running out of ideas. I would truly appreciate it!!
