I used to feed Turbo mostly spring mix, and then let him out to graze. And I admit I was feeding him a LOT of spring mix, probably over feeding him. But he would eat EVERY bit of it.
Turbo has slight pyramiding and I've been trying to improve it. For the last couple months he is getting daily soakings, squirtings, and his cage glass is always foggy and dewy but it doesnt seem to be improving. Decided I wanted to start growing him kinda slow, which I heard can help. Also decided on starting him on a more grassy diet.
I now feed about 1/3 of the amound of Spring Mix I used to give him. I let him mostly graze, then I mix the spring mix with mostly grass, chopping it all up and mixing it. He will deffinitely eat some, but never all of it.
He was about 150g and in a week and a half time span dropped to 135. Now he's picking back up to about 140.
Is this okay? Slightly worried I'm being mean by not feeding enough or not giving him as much spring mix. He has plenty of grass, clover and weeds out there to graze on for hours.
Oh I was also wondering if your torts prefer longer grass or shorter? When I mow the lawn around Turbo's enclosure, I always wonder if I should mow inside of it or let it all grow.
