Sometimes when I take him outside, he'll find a dead leaf on the ground, grab it in his mouth, and walk around. After he's walked around with it for a bit, he spits it back out and continues on his way. Do anyone else's do something similar?

Have you tried offering him a mulberry branch . . . might supplement his diet too. By the way, be sure to offer all your precious torts sunglasses tomorrow. We can't have blind tortoises wandering our back yards you know.

he is doing this because it is new and he is naturally willing to give it a try, after sucking on it he realized it was not any good after all nutritionally:) torts and turts have excellent sense of smell, brings stuff from outside for him too, sticks, leaves, he will enjoy sniffing them too :)

Well, I hope you have a good first day! You're very advanced for your grade and I'm impressed with how well you can compose sentenceso_O
Thank you so much! I pride myself in not forming sentences like a little kid lol. It probably helps that I'm in advanced courses!
