Hello, this is my little marginated tortoise Aesop - he is almost one. He’s a very inquisitive little fellow and a bit of a fussy eater. His favourite food are dandelions and clover - which are a bit of a challenge to come by in Scotland in December!

Any tips or advise would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Very nice little tortoise! Have you considered growing clover? It's pretty easy and matures quickly. Then you could mix it in with other stuff which is a good way of tricking a fussy eater.

Great advise, thanks. I have tried growing dandelions in an AeroGarden but they haven’t really taken to it. I’ll try clover and maybe plantain after Christmas - perhaps they’ll grow better in it! My kitchen windowsill used to be lined with herbs and flowers - now it’s all the weeds Aesop likes!
