@Will. We’ve talked before about how my adults and previous Homeana hatchlings eat a very high proportion of protein (worms,slugs,snails and woodlice), and very rarely eat greens.
I was considering trying to see if I can get this one to eat greens from the off by only offering greens, to see if it was my bad why they turn greens down.
Do you think that’s dicing with death?
What would you feed this guy?
I think it should work to make greens part of the diet. Snails for the most part have 'greens' in their gut. All baby tortoise seem to gravitate to poop, so that depending on the source will be high in greens. But all to what end, just to see if you are steering then to a too high a protein diet?
I don't yet have any baby erosa (eggs cooking) yet and will lean heavy on this thread for that help. I'd try lettuce butts ground up, that can be pulpy and small a worm into it? I don't have a experiential basis to answer, just speculation.
