I'm new to owning a tortoise, but have had many other types of reptiles in my life. We almost ran a Sulcata Hatchling over yesterday, looked like a small rock in the road until my husband saw it move! He swerved and we went back an picked "him"up...I actually have been wanting one for a year now so it worked out great! He is very healthy and active.
But only wants to eat kale when I make him a salad and that's what I'm not sure about what to do? I give him fresh pulled Bermuda, no pesticides, it grows like crazy where we are, some kale, some bok choy leaves, cabbage, cilantro, I put some dried rose petals in today to see if that would entice him...but all he wants is the kale...let me know if I should be trying something else also, we have cactus without thorns all over our yard.
He is having well formed frequent bowl movements and pee with the egg looking stuff. I just want to do all the correct things because he is such a little love, he actually wanted to be picked up today and walked around my chest for a while and then he fell asleep for 2 hrs. in my hands, I thought that was interesting.
Thank you for any and all suggestions!
