Sorry if this topic has already been visited.. I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Noticed a few posts about people feeding their torts pumpkin (what with the huge abundance of them around Halloween!)
And my question is: I have a horsfield tortoise, would it be suitable to feed him a small amount of pumpkin?? I don't know whether it's suitable for his species! And how do you feed it? Just raw, and mashed up a bit?
I ask this, but even if the answer is yes, there's a big chance he will just sniff it and then precede to trample all over it then ignore it! He's a fussy eater but I like to try new things with him on the off chance he will take a liking to it. Any advice would be appreciated
I find internet advice conflicting and obviously some is totally untrustworthy, I trust you guys far more!!
