Here we go again!

So I (had) found a solution to my russian sudden tomato love. I stuffed small amounts of greens into the tomatoes, and I fooled him with it for awhile, before I decided to cut off his tomatoes, and just give him greens. It's been 2 days now for no eating without tomatoes I understand that's hardly long in a tortoises time, but I really want to fix this! Should I adopt a tough love concept and just hope he eats the greens plain?? I don't want him to feel starved

Hunger is your ally. Just keep putting the fresh greens out and he will eventually eat them. Said in my best Yoda voice.... Stubborn little creatures, they are

I know he won;t NOT eat EVENTUALLY but I hate to think of him as being hungry and sad

He's just throwing a temper tantrum/pitty party. Put him in time out! No matter how many times a little kids says they'll hold their breath until you give them what they won't they will always have to take a breath. He won't let him self starve. Try taking some greens and just rub some cut tomato on them for the smell.

http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/starting-to-worry.98286/ Well, he did this a couple weeks ago, except he wasn;t even eating tomato so I did just that, and know he's hooked on those little cherry tomatoes!
That's a good way of putting it he's storming around his table right now (because I didn't put him out today) and because he doesn;t like what's in his bowl!

He's throwing a little baby tortoise sized tantrum!
