Hi guys, I'm fairly new here so I apologise if this is in the wrong place. My 1yr old Russian tort used to love eating, I would feed him alternations between organic spring mix, radicchio, dandelion, wild rose petals, and green chard. I take him out for sunlight for about 2-3 hours a day as my outdoor enclosure is not finished yet. I sprinkle "zoo-med repti calcium with vitamin D3" on his meals every few days as instructed.
However recently, he refuses to eat any of his usual foods (the ones I outlined above). When I take him outside he still tries to eat random stuff like pine cones and maple leaves and weird fuzzy flowers (all of which i pull away, and clear out as best as I can). He also took to trying to eat pebbles which I swapped out with cuddle-fish bone (which i crushed into pebble-like shapes) he loves eating those.
Either way, he only tries to eat cuddle-fish bones, things that are bad for him, and sometimes pumpkin. None of his usual stuff, I have been trying to feed him his regular stuff for the past 2 weeks now to no success so I'm desperately turning to anyone here that may have advice. Any advice helps
thankyou
