HELP - how much to feed?

[Kerri OMaley]

HELP! How much should my baby(1Mo) Marginated be eating? and how do I get him/her to eat, It seems like all he/she wants to do is bury himself/herself in the darkest part of the T House and sleep. I am getting really concerned. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Welcome Kerri.
We'll need more information like your temperatures, types of lighting, food being offered, etc. As much info as you can give and with photos if at all possible.
That would help a lot and we'll get it sorted out.

Welcome to the Forum, Kerri!

I don't keep any marginated tortoises, however, when feeding the babies that I do keep, I put enough food on the feeding tile so it lasts all day long. By the end of the day it looks pretty wilted/crisp and trampled, but they still eat it. They eat a bit, then go rest, then come back later and eat some more.
