Sulcata ate honey bee

[franeich]

My 6 month old sulcata ate a dead honey bee covered in ants. Should I be worried. I didnt think they ate meat. I am worried about the poison in the stinger.

He/she will be fine. They'll eat meat if you give it to them. Its generally just not good for them. I saw footage of a wild galapagos that would stand still at the waters edge and wait for little birdies to land in his shadow to drink. Then he'd smush them, back up and eat the freshly killed bird feathers and all. A true hunting tortoise.

All of them, like mine, that live outside eat all sorts of stuff all the time. You'd be horrified at some of the wind blown stuff I've seen in their poop.
