Hi! I have a Russian Tortoise named Raphael. I'm not sure how old he is, the pet place didn't know, but I'd guess he's somewhere around adult since he's a male and his shell is 5 inches long.
I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out...
I know that Russian Tortoises love flowers and need it to stay healthy. When I first got him, (March 08, 2024) I would give him fresh dandelions off my lawn. He used to love them, so I decided to buy some flower topper they sell at the local PetSmarts and Petcos.
Here is the link for the flower topper: Link.
He absolutely loved it and would always want some. However, one day he stopped having an interest in flowers.
I don't know if it is something I'm doing wrong, but no matter what I do, I can't get him to eat any flowers. I've tried feeding the flower topper and thought maybe it was because it was packaged (he's very picky), so then I tried the fresh dandelions again. And he won't eat them anymore.
So, I'm a little concerned because I know flowers are an essential part of a Russian Tortoises diet.
What should I do?
Thanks.
