I have a baby eastern Herman he’s wonderful and our routine is looking pretty normal on day 5, I went and bought him Boston fern and some hibiscus flowers and petunia flower! Everyday he’s eating his romane and musuri food and I’m doing calcium twice a week I did it only two times this week as I read it’s not good everyday. He just ignores the fern and flowers and rather eat his musuri and romane.. is this normal? Is he too young? I planted all these beautiful flowers for him to munch but I’m not sure if he’s too young?

He may be too young but new foods usually have to be tricked into their diet. Speaking of diet, you do need to add a lot more variety then just mazuri and romaine. If you can't get weeds from your yard that are tortoise safe, then get arugula, ridicchio, endive, spring mix, mustard greens, cactus to name a few that can be found at the stores.
