Hello, Hungry Tortoise, and a very warm welcome to The Cold Dark Room.
Pull up an armadillo to sit on and try not to sit on a hedgehog.
The Leprechaun One-Legged Pirate Substitute will fetch you a beverage of choice.
The snow leopard would like a carrot.
I understand you have a Russian tortoise?

It is quite normal for a tortoise to be picky in it's eating and get bored of just having one choice of food. This is why it's important to offer a nice selection of different foods. If the tortoise still refuses to eat what is good for him and wants only one type of food, then just wait. As long as your set up and especially temperatures are right, he will eat when he gets hungry. And make sure his enclosure is at least 8 feet by 4 feet, Russains need a large area to roam to aid in their digestion, stop them getting bored and be able to exercise their muscles properly.

Good evening all. I have spent a busy day delivering varying levels of hard stare to teenagers who cannot behave.

Some we truly put the frighteners on. Some, sadly, are probably destined for residency at Her Majesty’s Pleasure ... but we try to re-engage them nonetheless.

I might be in need of a glass of red this evening

I'm sure you deserve it.

But you can't win 'em all.
Sadly.

Good evening, John. :)
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Neither are muscles.
Or so I've been told.
