food

[George's mummy]

ive had my Tortiose 6 months now & ive tried so much different food with him, like Tomato, cucumber, melon all the things that the internet say..

But all he will every eat is lettuce.

Could anyone advise anything i could try him on?

Thanks

Try red peppers, torts get attracted to bright coloured food!! Another trick, dye the food red with red colouring

Try cactus aswell

I had the same prob but after trying and being patent, they started, now, they don't stop haaa

Hi George's mummy:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

What would you like us to call you?

...and may we know appx. where in the world you are?

We will need to know what kind of tortoise you have in order to help you with his diet. Can we see a picture of George?


(and just a note: if you don't offer lettuce, he can't eat it)

George is a Greek Spur Tortiose, He is approx 6 months old!

I'm from Warwickshire, England!

Thank you for your help, I have brought him a pepper to try today and he seems ok munching on that - Just got kind of worried cos i'd tried him with a few things but never bothered and only ate lettuce.
