There's a new bite in it every morning before I feed him, but once I lay down some greens he doesn't really touch it. He enjoys the Christmas cactus plant in his out door enclosure also.

My neighbor has an elephant food bush that's about 5ft around and about 3 feet high, I keep wondering how long it would take my adults to eat a plant that size.

I like to see people growing food in their enclosures, he looks like he has a nice place.

Hahaha...I'm sure they would reek havoc on the parts they could reach!

I've been thinking of mixing some organic soil in and sprinkling some seed in there to see how it does. I have chia seeds right now and they grow anywhere, may have to start that this weekend.

I sure like that tort. You've set the bar very high there.

I can't get over how stunning he is! His perfect smooth carapace is incredible.

Thanks everyone, as often as you guys say he is a great looking tort I feel I have to say that w/ out the great advice I have received on the forum he may have grown up dry.
