I know most tortoises are drawn to colors but mine isn't at all it seems!!! I've tried dandelions, rose petals, and others and it just seems like he never eats anything with a bright color! What am I doing wrong?

Seems red is the most favorite color. I have a leopard and nothing seems to attract him, well except rose of Sharon flower.
BTW, your doing anything wrong, as far as food colors. Some are some aren't.

My guy loves red.

Red things he's tried to eat: various shoes, blankets, a hot wheels car, the off/on button on my power strip, etc.

No outdoors and I'm using a uv bulb. But it isn't colored or anything. And that's what I was thinking! Could he be color blind?

Mix it right in with everything. My guy doesn't even like green stuff.
I have to mix it in.
