Finally I fed my tortoise a new treat ( pumpkin ).
Mine don't like sweet things. Once I fed him , he threw it. I don't know
Why ! Is it because he's 2 years old. And this means that he have less food suggestions. :(
But my sister's like sweet things soo much. She ate a lot. :):<3:

I've never tried pumpkin. What species of tortoise? I love when mine eat absolutely anything. It's cute how they tilt their heads and bite the food.

Mine is a Greek golden tortoise but he didn't like it. And my sister's is another type of Greek ( I don't remember really ) but she liked it.
Yeaaaa it the most cutest view you could ever see in ur life.

It's ok that he doesn't like pumpkin. It should be used as a treat, not a main part of the diet.

Fruits and anything sweet are not recommended for torts.

I thought it was actually good for them in small amounts? A gut cleanser and de wormer?

Both my redfoot and leopard will much away. I cut up a pumpkin into chunks and froze it last fall, then gave a few pieces here and there throughout the year as a treat.

I agree with you 100%
