I am a new member and a recent buyer of two tortoise they were a year old when I got them, they are now I want to say a year and six months. One is a sulcata (Zayco) and the other is a Russian (Zsa Zsa). They are up most friendly with me now and wonderful members of my family! I have done so much research on them lately, that my mind is spinning. I immediately changed there tank when I got them from a glass enclosure to a rubbermaid tank, biggest I could find. Though my problem is this... I was feeding them a regular diet of romaine lettuce (I actually found many sites that say they should eat this) till I started doing more research and found high rated sites and owners who say that is a big no no. So, I have went and bought there proper diet of this....tortoise monster diet, grassland tortoise yummies, 2:1 (I have always used), though my problem is they aren't wanting to eat it, so I put some carrots in there and they want to eat only that. My russian (ZsaZsa) loves the yummies well the catcus moist things though eats very little! So should I be concerned with them not eating this? Should I give it a week? Should I mix little bits of lettuce with them to attract them to the other food?
I am also building a tortoise table with trays built in so I may grow other plants for them.
Any foods or brands people recommend or general advice??
