    CDT's and Mazuri

    Who here feeds their CDT's mazuri? I find that mine do not like it, but will eat it if it's mixed in with their greens. They won't touch it otherwise.

    Is It A Desert Tortoise?

    Yvonne, I see you have a weimaraner in your pic... Does he/she go after the torts? I tried to introduce mine weim to one of my torts and she was having an anxiety attack because I would not let her eat it!

    Desert Seed Store

    Has anyone ever purchased their seeds for their torts from the Desert Seed Store? I purchased seed packets over 3 weeks ago. They took my money and never sent my seeds. I've sent multiple emails and have heard nothing. There is no phone number on their site so I can't call directly. They are...

    CDT- Food intake

    I just adopted a second desert tortoise today! I know it's way too early to know his eating habits, but when I fed him, he ate just a bit and then decided to go back in his den. My other guy, he's just a giant pig and will eat and eat and eat! Do you all have CDT's that all have different...

    How much to feed my CDT

    He has lots of weeds and grass, mostly weeds to choose from. I've seen him grazing a bit but not the same way he indulges himself on the supplemental food offerings. I'll do what you suggest and see what happens. Thank you

    How much to feed my CDT

    Yes, I will brumate him during the winter months. I normally give him daily, like you suggested, an amount that matches his shell size. And when he is finished, he keeps looking for more salad. But I don't feed him more because I want him to graze as well. I usually just feed him once in the...

    How much to feed my CDT

    Hi. My CDT is 10 years old, 10" and LOVES to eat. I'm really not sure what the ratio should be between his daily salads and him grazing. I put a generous amount of greens out for him each morning and he devours them. He'd eat more if I fed more. Can anyone tell me about what amounts he should be...
