Hi,
So my Sulcata hatching (Taco) has this awkward eating habit where he likes to stand tall over his food when eating, the problem with that is, he’s so tall over the food that he doesn’t even bite the food, all he gets is empty mouthfuls of air most of the time! I can tell that he gets frustrated bc he walks away from the food, just to return to get the same results. So I most times like to “assist” him by gently holding him down so that he doesn’t rise up to encourage/train him to stay low or level with the food so that he can take bites. Has anyone ever experienced this with their torts? If so, will he learn to eat properly?
Thanks.
