So I used to offer kale to my Russians but never my red foots that I can recall.

This weekend, I offered arugula, kale, and escarole. None were big winners. Arugula was first pick, then escarole, then kale.

Apron mix in general is still a favorite.

What have you found favorites for your tortoises?

I've been thinking about buying a mulberry tree for my tortoises. What kind do you have? Can you offer the fruits along with the leaves?

How do you guys offer cactus? I've never had luck with any of my torts eating it.
