So, I have an elongated tortoise named Voldemort.

I have a question about food.

I have given him apples and plums and he doesn't like them.
He eats the protein supplements with strawberries and romaine lettuce.

What other dark greens and fruit is ok to give him?


This is him:

Hi elongated_melon:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

You can offer endive, escarole, turnip greens, dandelion greens, kale, mustard greens, any of the melons, apricots, tomatoes, zucchini. I use a lot of the packaged greens, especially Santa Barbara Mix. You can also offer opuntia cactus. The key is to offer a nice variety and don't get stuck feeding the same thing over and over.

May we know your name and appx. where in the world you are?

I tried kale, but he doesn't like it (he scattered it to get to everything else) but I plan on trying other foods.

I need your help once again.
So, I got him a cuttlebone for his beak but he doesn't seem to want to partake in it.
What else can I do for him?
