I got Shelly a few weeks ago. The only thing she will eat is the Mazuri Tortoise Diet mixed with some tortoise food. I have put veggies in it too. All she does is eat around them or push them out of the way. Any ideas would be helpful.

By greens I mean collards and mustards and I also put in some shaved carrot and squash.

This gets even our picky eater's eating and then they feed on spring mix in time on their own. Another option would be dicing up very fine cactus pad and feed that next to the Mazuri/Marion. Often times the smell of the cactus is attractive and they eat it up. Both options have worked good for me.
