I think you guys need to understand English a little better. I change the oil in my truck regularly. How many of you think that that means daily?

Yes but when you list a diet and that's one of the first few things listed that would usually mean it's the most dominate part of the diet. At least to me it would. Most people list dominance first then go down from there. It's human nature

So you think that a diet of "pinkies, worms and veggies" is different than a diet of "veggies, worms and pinkies"?

yes is it was listed that way it says that the dominate food is veggies.

Sorry, but you are incorrect.

like when i list my torts food i put spring mix usually then there forest tortoise food and mazuri, then their fruits then their worms. IMO its natural to list the dominate food/whatever your talking about first. i also learned that in my Psych class. its just how the brain functions. what is most important to you or is most used comes into mind first, so typically is listed first.

im not trying to sound rude or understate you thats just my feelings on the topic. to me those are to totally different diets

Unless of course she fed the pinkie just that day, in which case pinkie would come to mind before veggies even if the veggies are predominant diet.

Bottom line is, making any conclusion based on the wording in the add is premature, and first comments were not justifiable. Diet could be just fine.

Or the diet could be out of balance.

I guess we are all just used to finding train wreck tortoise-turtle care on CL. LOL
Im trying to talk a guy out of a Sulcata in an aquarium. Poor guy can barely turn around, but guy wants $300.

Love to eat them pinkies,
Pinkies' what I love to eat,
Bite they tiny heads off,
Chew they tiny feet.

Apologies to B. Kliban.

Great. Now that'll be in my head every time pinky time comes around ;-)
It certainly rings true for baby boxies, that was quite the bloodbath...
