Well, I had heard on this forum that torts love this stuff and after mixing up some with their normal salad I can say that I must have the only nine tortoises that hate pumpkin! Everyone of them was a foot away from the food dish scraping their mouths out with their claws. They looked at me like I was a monster and stormed off to the other side of the habitat. The Russians in the other pen went all the way to the other side of their pen and buried their heads. Wouldn't even go near it!
