Hi all!
I have a lovely spoiled baby star tortoise (5 months old). Food that he/she ate a lot from two days ago, he all of a sudden seem to dislike a few days later. The only thing that he constantly seems to eat is grocery greens, but I tried to avoid those, since at least for now I'm still able to get him fresh weeds and flowers. However, what sometimes happens now is that I give him food and he won't eat it during the whole day, perhaps only a single bite. I know tortoises can survive a few days without food, but since he's young I also want to make sure that he grows up healthy.
Does someone has any experience with a picky tortoise as well, and how have you dealt with that? Looking for some suggestions, thank you!
