O my dad is trying to feed my 3 month old sulcata mangoes. Is that okay? I know they should be given fruit occasionally but my dad keeps ignoring this and thinks that just because he eats everything (like his koi fish) that means it must be healthy =_=

not a good idea unless its a one time thing and a small bite... when they are bigger, its not as much of an issue..

Otherwise, too much sugar/carbs for a herbivorous tort. See if you can explain to dad that this species does not digest sugars well.
