Yummy

she only ate papaya...?. Am I serving too much at once? When I cut greens and mix other stuff in she won’t eat it.
Am I doing something wrong?
Your food looks very colorful. Doesnt seem like too much. Could there be something in the enclosure that she could be eating instead that your unaware of ?
 
The goal for feeding is to provide variety, so good job!!! Tortoise, like other kept animals, start to figure out that they are always offered foods and will start to just pick out the stuff they want. There’s terms for it in mammals: spoiled or barn sour! Haha my Tortoise will leave things she used to eat, but now she “doesn’t” eat them. I feel this is because she knows there will be other things and she’s not that hungry.

Exactly like my Greeks, they are addicted to lettuce, which is bad, and would rather starve themselves than eating anything else. It took me some time until I convinced the Lil brats to eat other food ?
 
Mine will only eat romaine and refuses to eat other stuff! I had to "tough love" her a bit and now, she is eating dandelion greens, but not anything else! If I put romaine back in there, then it's "dandelion who" Oh, this girl!
