Hey all,
My RF many times has, in my opinion, an odd eating habit. I will put his food in his enclosure and he'll chomp away. He'll eat for 5-7minutes, and really get in to it, especially if it's one of his favorites (as expected). Then he'll look around the food and wander off to another area. It's like he gets distracted. If I were to pick him up and put him back in front of his food, he'll start eating again for another 2-3 minutes. Then he'll wander off.... I could do this a few times.
If he is really liking the food and is hungry, why would he leave? And if he is full and wants to graze later, why would he start eating again right when put back in front of his food 30 seconds later?
Wanted to know if any of your tortoises had this sort of habit.
