Don't be alarmed if they take a few days to eat, I soak all of my torts when they wake up, then I place food in everyday and usually after 2-3 days they will eat. Mine usually eat whatever has grown in there enclosures and then I supplement with other foods and vitamins. I would say dandelion, endive, spring mix, mustard greens, turnip greens, escrole, squash, cactus pads. A good variety is key.

Jens given you solid advice. It took my boy over a week to drink and start to eat.
