Nelson hasn't been eating much lately- I'm wondering if it's related to the time of year. I think I need to add another heat source to his enclosure ?
He is still extremely active. He is very restless and spends all day trying to climb up the corners of his enclosure.
I weighed him recently and he has lost weight since August Now he's underweight. He is barely eating his greens lately. The only thing I can get him to eat with gusto is pumpkin and butternut squash.
He is 2 1/2 now and he has eaten solely greens, leaves, flowers, weeds, pumpkin/squash, etc. since he was ~2 months old. No commercial diets.
Well I bit the bullet and ordered some Mazuri for him. It will be delivered today. I only plan on offering it to him once a week, but I'm hoping it will help him gain some weight and get his appetite back! He has literally NEVER turned down food up until about two weeks ago.
How many pellets of Mazuri do you offer? Obviously this is relative depending on the size of your tort! Nelson is 2 years old, nearly 4 1/2 inches.
I want to see this face again!
