GRASS

[Oogway the russian tort]

So i made a kiddie pool full of grass so he can graze since my parents pit fertilizer in our lawn. But when i pit him i he doesnt seem to want to eat thw grass(bermunda grass) he just want so dig no matter what

Russians like broadleaf weeds more then grass. Tortoisesupply.com sells a seed mix that is great for Russians. Maybe order that, plant within the grass and he will be able to eat some grass along with the weeds

Oh, you could also try blending his favorite treat like a strawberry into juice and drizzle it all over the grass and see if you can trick him into eating the grass that way

As Barb pointed out, russians are not grass eaters.

You'd do better with Tyler's Testudo mix. They will definitely eat that. With vigor.

Go cut all that grass and feed it to a sulcata!

Do you feed grocery store greens to Oogway? You can finely chop up some of that grass and mix it all up with the greens to add some fiber.

I feed him grocery greens since i have some weeds in the back yard but he eats to much and there is not enough because they are all thus is why i built the grass kiddie pool but i already ordered some of the testudo seed mix
