He sure is! Have you been putting coconut oil on him?
I like the expression on his face...he looks thoughtful and wise.

 

[lazybfarm]

General is starting to eat everything I through in his plate and I mean its a lot , He can easily consume a pile of mazuri, with cactus or bell pepper cut up in it , the size of a softball. And a 12" clay plate full of greens. dandelions ,Opuntia, etc, I mean he cleans his plate. Im feeding him a little more everyday and now he is waiting by the feed bowl for more every afternoon. He is an eating machine. Although they [Jackson and General ] seem to go through periods where they eat more than they normally do, then they go back to feeding at what I think is a normal amount for an Aldabra this size @ 5.5lbs. They are growing at about 1lb per month now. Seems like they are growing every day!
