Hello all! Rosey and Ruby got a new friend recently...a baby redfoot hatchling. I'm calling it Little One for now. Well the problem with Little One is that it won't eat its greens. I feed spring mix in the morning and a small nighttime snack of a vegetable mixed with a few Rep-Cal pellets for the added fiber. (The pellets are a recent addition to their diet..before I only fed them lettuce and veggies but they had runny poo a lot so I added the pellets and that cleared the runny poo up). Anyhow Little One won't eat its salad in the morning or its veggies, it only wants pellets. Thinking I could get it to eat I didn't let it have any pellets for the last 2 days and the little thing has hardly eaten anything. How can I get it munching on the greens? I've tried mixing things into thee lettuce like strawberry and it appears Little One doesn't even like strawberries! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also the 2 big girls share a tortoise table with the baby. So far it seems everyone gets along just fine. The only thing I worry about is that sometimes in the hide the big girls (6 and 7 inches) play pile on on top of Little One. Little One never seems distressed about it so I haven't intervened. Is this ok? I built little one its own house with an entrance only big enough for it but it still chooses to be piled on top of by the girls instead of using its own house....
