No, not feeding my Aldabran my hand, but feeding BY hand!
We have another thread with this same title, and as I was scrolling through the unread threads just now and came past that one I slapped my forehead and said, "OH NO!!!! I LEFT MY CAMERA OUTSIDE!!!" and its raining. I had taken some pictures of hand feeding my aldabran tortoises and set the camera down to do something else then forgot it. But my luck held, and the camera has thankfully given up its pictures.
My Aldabran pen is 80% or more clover with just a little bit of grass and other stuff. I didn't know that clover was one of those things that binds calcium and shouldn't be fed a whole bunch. My two Aldabran tortoises graze daily on their clover and I only give them Mazuri once a week. So a couple years ago I discovered that both of them are calcium deficient and verging on MBD. Since that discovery, I've been giving them human calcium pills in pieces of fruit about 4 or 5 times a week. It has taken 2 years, but I'm starting to notice a SLIGHT improvement in them.
This is SO taking a bite of his peach/calcium:
