The pellets are no particular brand just called 'Dry Tortoise Food' and it says 'soak before use and add calcium supplement. Protein 11%. Oil % fibre 4% ash 7%. I'm leaving for holiday tommorow so I won't be in contact but I'm leaving Mani (tortoise) with the neighbours and I've briefed them...

I'll give it a try.

Video of her in the bath, is that what u wanted?

Ok, so we've solved the hand feeding problem but still can't get her to eat her greens. I am started to get really frustrated. I've done some research on pellets but I can't seem to find WHY they are bad and I was hoping maybe you guys knew why pellets are bad for tortoises. Or if they're really...

BIG NEWS GUYS, today she ate some Brussels sprouts on her own without any hand feeding! I've bought a pack of ready salad containing a range of salad leaves. I also bought the Brussels to go along with it and I mixed the peeled leaves amongst the salad. She seems to check out the salad a lot and...

I've tried mixing the pellets and veg together. I put the cabbage, parsley, lettuce and pellets all in a blender. She didn't eat this. The problem is she will go straight for the pellets that are coloured and have the cinlidar shape, but anything else she just ignores. I've never seen her drink...

She's not eating it anywayz. Guys what do you think I should do if she hasn't eaten properly for five days? Like she's had a couple of pellets but no veg. Should I give her more pellets?

I'll try feeding her soon and I'll give you guys an update on her appetite later.

Thanks guys I'll take a look. And yes it says cabbage is fine but doesn't say anything about cabbage leaves and stuff. It just says cabbage.

Cabbage is safe for her to eat but parsley on the other hand should be fed in small quantities.

She should eat as much as her shell how often?

I've just taken her out and put her under the light because she kept going crack to bed even though she's been asleep for 16 hours. I put her in front of some pellets, lettuce, cabbage and parsley all blitzed together but she didn't eat them. She probably would eat them if I had fed her but I...

Is there a reason you call her a he? The shop said she was a girl but after looking up how to sex a tortoise there was evidence suggesting she was a boy. Do you think she is a boy?

Also the water. Is it normal for her not to drink much. I've never seen her drink from the drink pot but I have seen her drink when I soak her every other day.

Ok. He I'm in the UK and I also removed the mirror and added her new light. I'll make sure I get a themometre later this weekend and I'll also get the night beat thing. Any suggestions on the good brands for the night light. The reptile shop I bought the light on didn't say anything about a...
