I'm probably a little bit sad for doing this, but I love to watch my tortoise eat. I could spend hours watching him chomping away and getting his face, arms and tummy covered in food while launching leaves around accidentally losing them.

This is just a video of Marley and his breakfast this morning. Love him! :)

Yeah it's strange though! I see him differently now knowing he's male. Don't even think of him as Milly anymore :)

Nice looking leopard, I think tortoise behaviors in general are very therapeutic :)

I love watching mine eat also! I wish I liked greens as much as he does :). ImageUploadedByTortForum1371270537.383943.jpg. He has a new flat fish now to eat from and it's so much better for him.

Actually, I thought watching my leopard when I first got him was nerve racking. He always would miss the food or weed. It drove me nuts. Thinking is something wrong, will he give up enforce he gets full, wanted to help him, but he was still a little jumpy at that time. Was glad when he got a little older and grew out of it:)
