    biting tortoise

    He eats a mix of leafy lettuce, collard greens, curly kale, dandelion greens, occasional squash and berries. And when he's outside clover leaves and flowers, plantains. And I use a calcium supliment and super veggie :)

    biting tortoise

    No no, he doesn't roam the house when I have him out I always supervise. It's when I have him out and I glance at my phone for example and he runs up and bites my leg or goes after my toes:p:D

    What kind of squash can my hermann have? and better to cook or grate it raw?

    I now have a bearded dragon and he eats alot of squash, I was wondering it my hermann can also have some. I cooked the squash to soften it but now I'm reading that raw is better. I have spaghetti and acorn squash. Dose it matter that I cooked it? How often can he have it? Thanks :)
