My tortoise only likes Romain lettuce and won’t eat anything else. I’ve tried adding a little more variety each time but he just won’t eat it. Can someone help?

You have GOT TO BE OUT of that Mazuri by now.I had this issue with my Greek tort Oli: he refused to eat anything but lettuce. When Ed ( @ZEROPILOT ) was kind enough to send me mazuri for Oli, my tort refused to eat it. @Lyn W suggested mixing the mazuri with the lettuce, I tried it and thank goodness it worked.
Thanks @Lyn W , thanks @ZEROPILOT .
Yup that works well too.You have GOT TO BE OUT of that Mazuri by now.
P.M. or Email me and I'll be happy to send more.
I need to buy another bag anyway.
As Gillian says. Mixing it with other items. Even the juice of other things works to get them eating.

He can't eat it if you don't offer it to him. They won't starve themselves.
So true. I went through this with Oli. It was so tiring to get him to start eating anything besides lettuce. But later on it did work, thank goodness.He's only eating romaine because you've spoiled him. Stop giving him romaine and give him something else and after a few days he'll give in. He won't starve himself to death.
