I went outside this morning to give my torts some greens to eat. All were found and placed together to commence munching on the greens. As I walked back in the house, I noticed several areas where some critter had come in the yard, and dug a bunch of shallow holes in search of something to eat. I am thinking this is probably from an opossum, or possibly a skunk. None of the torts looked like they had been bugged at all.
I know a coyote or a racoon could eat a full grown Russian tort. Can an opossum or a skunk? They just dont seem big enough, and both seem to prefer grubbing around for food, and not really the true predator type. I am sure they would eat a baby if they could find one, but I am not convinced they can eat an adult.
Thoughts out there?
