It's looking like he will eat anything you give him. I think he likes to eat, period.
Panicked cuz the tiniest piece of radicchio stuck to the tip of his nose!

What is that your feeding them?Look who came to visit...FOR GOOD! Arliss' siblings from multiple females and nests...all 0.0.13 (14 counting Arliss) are F1 hatchlings from the original wild caught imports brought into the States by John Ruiz and Brad Morris. 11.11 of the adults were acquired by ALL THE AQUATICS in Central Florida. A friend of theirs took on 2.3 and two of the smaller hatchlings are from them...but still part of the original herd! I am so wiped from grave shift...working anacondas... and managing ALL these tortoises...that this is simply going to be a photo session! It's unlikely that I will keep individual stats for now...but I will give regular overviews of size range! I am NOT going to create a separate thread...as they are ALL part of the same project!

Obviously, that individual care has given Arliss a headstart over the others!View attachment 254562 View attachment 254563 View attachment 254565 View attachment 254566 View attachment 254567 View attachment 254568

Most of the time...I'll turn 'em loose on the lawn...but first feeding of the day...at least 4 days a week is this! It consisits of 50/50 Mazuri and milled alfalfa hay...barely soaked...but I let it sit half an hour before I feed it. Basically, we're talking oatmeal consistency!! Once a week or so...I'll pulverize a tuna (cactus pear) and mix it in...the color draws 'em in EVERYTIME...and the flavor keeps 'em there! Sullies and leopards alike will be fed the same thing on any given day!What is that your feeding them?
