Reason for Tort Food Issues *answer Inside*

[Abdulla6169]

My Greek tortoise had seemed to eat less & I thought he "grazed" on his food, he is recovering from a URI and I thought it was "natural" for this to happen. I had just changed the enclosure because we probably worked on pet store advice.... I had just changed his diet for the better and I knew he would like it! The. To my surprise he started eating less... So when I put some Bok Choy for him he just smelt it and left, so I took a romaine leaf of lettuce, shredded the bok choy and French lettuce and put it on the romaine leaf... He started eating like crazy and I felt relived (he wasn't pooing in a while, maybe from lack of food?) he didn't poop till now but I'm sure he will in a while thanks for your previous help!

Kind if gross, but I do find my tort poops while he's eating... (I think) to make room for the new food and also to get rid of extra proteins/calcium eaten in the last meal before consuming new ones. Try not to give too much romaine though, very addictive and not very nutritious, even if it's all he wants to eat!

I usually wrap whatever good he should eat around it and then he tries it, romaine lettuce is the only "treat" for him, lol!
