Hello, this is my very first thread, I got my new russian tortoise Archie, ( I’ve done a TON of research before getting him) he’s in 3 by 4 table, I woulda liked to get a bigger one straight away but being 14 I can’t fit a 4
X 8 table Er something in my room lol ( I’m in the process of adding another level) with a mix of coconut fiber and orchid bark with the hottest temp at 95 degrees, he also had a uvb / uva bulb the reason I’m posting is cause he is VERY picky he only wants to eat lettuce and watermelon( which I only gave him once because I know I shouldn’t too often) , he hadn’t touched his tortoise pellets and I’ve tried everything to get him to eat it , I’ve mashed up blueberries in it , I’ve soaked it in water and mashed it up with the lettuce, I’ve even chopped up the lettuce super fine and put it all over the pellets, he won’t eat it, !! I put calcium powder on the lettuce and he doesn’t mind but still, how can I get him to eat the pellets?
