So my baby redfoot (about 4 1/2 months) categorically refuses to eat his lettuce(s) other than romaine. He will MAYBE take one bite and then run away. ( I even feed him in a small bowl where he can only get so far!) I have tried only offering the greens for about 4 days in a row till i couldn't take it anymore and gave him his tortoise pellets. And the other thing is he eats a pretty darn small amount. He only eats about one tortoise pellet amount of food. I feed him daily. sometimes twice daily because I am a new tortoise and worry about how much he eats. So far his ONLY approved foods are:
- Canned worms (he ate 2-3 one day)
- tomatoes (he gets VERY happy when I feed him tomatoes
- romaine lettuce (he will eat a several bites of this)
- strawberries (two little turtle legs up!)
- papya mix in (canned)
- Rejected foods
- Anything that he would find if he was in the wild!
What should I do?! i can't stand him only eating a bite a day! It makes me feel like I'm starving him and being mean!
