Hello all-
I have 2.3 Russian tortoises split into 1.1 and 1.2 in outdoor enclosures.
I've read on caresheets to either feed them once a day for 20 minutes or every other day for 60 minutes.
While sitting out there watching them eat, I notice that some of the tortoises don't eat as much in the 20 minutes as the others, usually because they're just slower, or smaller.
My question is how do I know when the ones who eat slower are getting their share of the food?
Also- the trio is fairly smaller than the pair; should I be giving them a little more time to eat since they're still growing?
