So, what is your tortoise's

....favorite snack? I'm not talking staple diet, but something you give them once or twice per month. For my group of Manouria it's hands down fat n juicy nightcrawlers, with the banana coming in at a close 2nd.
They literally go into a feeding frenzy when I break the worms out.

Strawberries. Joe would kill for strawberries!

 

[cherylim]

Meli Melo tomatoes for Emrys. NOTHING gets that reaction.

 

[FBody355]

+1 Strawberries!

Tatum, my leopard loves Christmas cactus

 

[seetsjakers]

carrots...

 

[Sammy]

Mazuri.... My RF won't eat anything else

 

[DreadHeadMomma]

I was going to say strawberries as well, but my little guy is developing a love for zucchini.

 

[Talka]

Grape tomatoes. ^_^

Id say Coopers fav is anything that don't eat him first! But I know he likes watermelon and apples. That's 2 things we have let him try before. Oh and 1 time he found a cheese dorito and he must have loved it cause he ate it before I could even snatch it away from him! Lol! He is a piggy! Have a great day all!

My Russians favorite snack is new shoots from my large Alovera plant

 

[tyler0912]

Hopper mice and banananananana!

 

[jackrat]

Very ripe papaya. Right now,it's a treat. In season,it's almost a staple. They will crawl over each other to get to it.

Believe it or not.... scallops. My Redfoots, Hingebacks, Manouria, and all my turtles (Box and aquatics) got crazy for scallops. Or catfish nuggets.

I don't really give treats to my grazers. The only thing that seems like a "treat" to me would be fruit, and I don't feed it. I guess they only get sweet potato every couple of weeks, so that could sort of be considered a treat.

The only things I really "treat" my torts with is squash and cactus... In both cases, cactus seems to be the favorite hands down. Though my larger female Russian has a softspot for ZooMed Grassland tort food (she's the only one that likes it), and lately I've been giving my Leo Mazuri at a more "treat-like" frequency because otherwise he doesn't really want to eat anything else. He goes NUTS for Mazuri!!

So far, strawberrys get the best reaction, w/ watermelon running a close 2nd.

Yeah, the color red really does get their attention, don't it?

Knowing this (and keeping some red food color on hand) makes getting them to try new foods they're currently turning their noses up at pretty easy...
