Absolutely.
Being different and even odd is welcomed in The Cold Dark Room.
Confusion is good.
This is where the so called 'not cool kids' hang out.

Mediterranean species don't need fruit at all.
It isn't good for them, but one small strawberry a week is not going to do any harm.
Beastie will get all the protein he needs from a balanced diet.
Tortoises don't need treats.
Having said that, I do give Tidgy naughty treats occasionally because she likes them so much.
It's like chocolate. No good reason to give it to kids other than that they love it.
So I know this sounds a little silly but I knew I couldn't feed fruit but I thought 1 small strawberry was good for them providing it was once a week. I was just new to having a tortoise at the time and listened to bad advice :(
I'll stop feeding him his wee strawberry - I don't think he likes it much anyway lol. I have read that clover is higher in protein that most other weeds and I usually give a small handful once a week so hopefully that's sufficient enough
I feel really stupid lol... arghhh!

tortoise girl said:and yes I know I am weird, I get bullied for being weird.
now she says: I also get bullied for no apparent reason, and beat up.
There's nothing wrong with being a little different. I too used to get bullied - I was known as the weird girl who used to listen to heavy mental music and they used to do anything to make me feel sooo bad about myself. Now I look back and realise they were the losers
Always remember that most people that bully are unhappy with thereselves and take it out on others
You have loads of friends here :)

Don't feel stupid, i still give Tidgy tomato occasionally, because she loves it so.
AND she gets a single segment of satsuma at Christmas.
But if beastie doesn't like the strawberry, then yes, clover"s good.
Don't forget that tortoises shouldn't get too much protein, so clover in moderation is good, but not too much!
And don't feed clover after a frost.

Oh no I know they only need a little :) but didn't realise clover was slightly higher in protein than other weeds (just found out on TTT). So I'm just going to take away the strawberry and do nothing else. He's fed only weeds although sometimes if I have kale or rocket left over from my tea I'll give it to him. But it's only ever a couple of times a month at best

it is twilight right now. My favourite time of the day. There are lots of clouds in the sky, but it hasn't rained since last week or something, so it will probably rain soon.
You're obviously not in the UK then!?
