So I'm determined to get my 3 toed, Mrs.Turtle to eat veggies. I want to make a salad for her since all she likes is fruits and protein. These are the things I have so far.ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1478063787.913613.jpg
So are there any more things I can add? (chances are she won't even bat an eye but I gotta at least try lol) Thanks in advance, Mike

I use the same things I feed my baby tortoises - mulberry leaves, grape leaves, mallow, endive, escarole, romaine, grated carrot, grated zucchini, grated cucumber. All chopped up into very tiny pieces. I occasionally mix in a little canned cat food. And I top it with a live worm or cricket.

romain lettuce... I took over the care of Mrs.Turtle about 2 or 3 years ago. I'm 15 and we have had her for 15 years... so I wasn't able to help her in the beginning. That's one of the reasons why I want to get her outside so badly
