Good morning everyone!
As my little Leif (3 year old marginated tortoise) has been getting bigger (and cant fit under the cupboards or couch anymore) we've been letting him wander the house more. Almost every time I let him out he tries to eat the dogfood! Today we had some old lunch meat that we were giving to the cats. One of the cats dragged it down on to the ground out of the dish and my little Leif started eating that too! I generally keep a pretty close eye on him when he's walking around, but some time he sneaks over to the food and gets a few bites before I notice. Is this something I should worry about? He is getting bigger now. Would he eat bugs and whatnot out in the wild that maybe he is trying to replace?
