Hi everyone...My name is Ron and me and my family are the proud owners of a California desert tortoise. I had an odd question and was hoping for some input. We adopted our boy (Link) 3 days ago from a rescue. Their best guess was he is approximately 40yrs old. We decided on a tortoise because my kids and I are highly allergic to anything with fur so this was what we felt was the best choice for a pet. My concern was that we were told not to feed him anything since our yard would be enough...I am still worried about enough food and want to feed him so bad but dont want him to get sick. Ive given him a few rose petals and he has eaten them fairly quickly but seems to just cruise around yard not eating much of anything else...Any input would be greatly apprectaied. I guess my question is when should I think about supplementing something other than my lawn.
