Hello everyone,
My son acquired a Russian tortoise 3 months ago. We have done research on diet, lighting, etc. Our tortoise vet has not examined him yet due to social distancing, so I am hoping you all have some info with regards to diet. He will eat Kale, Collards, Green beans, Endive, Cactus, Broccolini leaves, Swiss chard, and weekly treats of strawberry, melon, or tomato. He has a tortoise block and cuttlebone but he does not touch it. The only thing he won't eat is tortoise pellets. We have tried 3 different brands already. How important are they??
