So I'm curious on a few things, I've been reading similar threads but haven't found the answers I'm looking for.
I did read somewhere tortoises can't digest food unless they're 80 degrees? Is this true? And how long does it take for them to digest food- an hour, five hours, etc.?
As a side note, sometimes my babe won't eat for a day or two, even though I keep offering her food- she doesn't eat much anyways, but she's only 4 or 5 inches, so maybe size has to do with it? In the beginning I was extremely worried for her, but that seems to be her normal... I mostly give her leafy greens, lately I've been giving dandelion flowers and leaves as well, and I don't offer much fruit, and never any lettuce. So I can't imagine she's throwing a fit over tasty snacks? She also seems a bit picky- when I offer her something new, sometimes she'll refuse to eat it for a while.
Oh- should add she's a redfoot.
