sounds like someone has got a spoiled tortoisejensgotfaith said:My Russian is very picky and will not eat carrots. I've tried giving them to her both shredded and sliced. She also doesn't like pumpkin or squash. Another shocker, she tramples Mazuri rather than eating it and doesn't like zoomed grassland either. She strictly likes spring mix, romaine, mustard greens, Collard greens, and once in a while some kale. When it's warm enough for her to be outside, she walks around, sleeps, and walks more. I've never seen her grazing.
emysemys said:Tortoises 101 (Tony): I mean you absolutely NO disrespect. You have a great love of turtles and tortoises and have done quite a bit of research. I have much respect for you and your fervor, but I'm trying to get this falsehood updated, so every time I see it repeated, I try to counter act:
Pumpkin is NOT a natural de-wormer. If you want to de-worm your tortoise with pumpkin, you have to use the seeds. You have to grind them up and sprinkle them over the tortoise's other food.
Pumpkin SEEDS are a natural de-wormer (anthelmintic)
