Hi!

I have a Bell's Himgeback. Is it safe to put dairy cow isopods in his enclosure?

Thanks!

The isopods will not hurt your tortoise in the least, but they might start to disappear...

Okay. Thank you. He's not one to go after things but we'll see if I decide to get them at all. Thank you so much!

Have you ever dropped an earthworm in front of him?

I believe so, yes. He just doesn't voluntarily seek things in his enclosure unless it's right in his food bowl.

Let us know how it goes. Worse case, it will be good behavioral enrichment.
