My sulcata tortoises are 2,5 years old and well grown. Their appetite increases from day to day. I think it is the right time to introduce them in eating hay. They are not amused at all with my idea, but because I am a "bad" mommy I mix their lettuce with smooth timothy hay.
When they take a bite now they always get some hay with the lettuce. When all lettuce is eaten I saw them eating the hay when they are still hungry.
The daily meal:
The torts are waiting hungry .......
Hmmm, yummy food .....
But wait ! What do you do there "mommy" ????? Nooooooo.... ( say the torts )
Why do you put that ugly hay on our food ?????
Leo ( disappointed ) is taking a bath instead to continue eating:
when torts could cry ..... maybe she would........
The pet-tortoise world is cruel with little innocent tortoises......
