Feeding Time for Rex

[Tort-Rex]

I figured I would take a few pictures of Rex while I was hand feeding him turnip greens last night
And who doesn't love some tort tongue?

By the way, we have learned that he absolutely LOVES turnip greens....and I LOVE seeing his little tongue

He does seem to really like them. Just make sure he gets a lot more then just those. A varied diet is very important.

Nothing like a little tortie tongue and also their wiggle tails are as fun...

Oh yeah, we know, we've fed him Zoo med grassland tortoise food, spring mix, kale (which he didn't really like), and turnip greens so far. This was actually his first time trying turnip greens. Next, we're gonna try to give him collard greens

You'll find CRAZY about banana and black berries, too. Just watch out for ants.

Ok, I'll try giving him some banana next time we have them, then

Ban an is really high in sugar, I would skip since fruit is not a part of this guys diet needs. I give mine a lil nibble of watermellon but only once every other month. Try squash blossoms if you can get them or grow them. Mine goes nuts for those!
