Hello, all! I’m a very new tortoise owner. I adopted a Greek tortoise from a rescue about a month and a half ago. He had been there awhile and was very healthy when I received him. He had a low protein/high fiber diet with the previous caretaker. I was told this consisted of store bought greens, carrots, the occasional tortoise pellet food. When I received him I went straight to the Tortoise Table website and found lots of safe green, weeds, flowers that I have readily available already. I have tried to give him a wide variety of foods daily to choose from, and I’ve included some things like store bought turnip greens as a more familiar food in his diet. I’m now beginning to worry that I’ve drastically changed his diet too much. He has had very loose stool this week and last. His enclose is outside, weather permitting, and indoors at night. I soak him once or twice a week depending on the heat. Should I go back to a more limited diet for the time being?
