lol. Yep. Mine's eating me out of house and home. He's gone thru about 1/4 bale of hay already since Monday on top of the fresh greens I give him daily. I have a ton of escarole, endive, and chicory growing in the greenhouse, but they are not ready to harvest yet. I've been offering escarole and endive that I bought from the store in the meantime, but they are like $7 per head!!!
Where did you get that thingy that is holding your greens? How large is it?Is anyone else astounded by how much one little tortoise can eat? This was today. Also, he does ZERO exercise, even in his outdoor 10' x 12' enclosure he rarely moves around... I guess its all low calories, but still...
Search tortoise feeder on Amazon. There are two "brands". One is like $10 more. Here is a link to one.Where did you get that thingy that is holding your greens? How large is it?
Thanks! That looks great. I may try the medium, although it still seems small for my large redfoot. We will see!Search tortoise feeder on Amazon. There are two "brands". One is like $10 more. Here is a link to one.
Yes it's pretty funny to watch the little monkeys. You gotta do what you gotta do though with a Russian. And that's watch them like a hawk. And really really try to outsmart them as best you can but don't count on it.😉😁🐢🐢I just noticed this: There are two kinds of Russian tortoise: those who have escaped and those who will.
LOL

Probably just watching until you get out of the way 😜. But Sapphire is about the same until he's not. Then he can get himself in so many predicaments. I've watched him maneuver things around and then flip himself sideways and walk up a wall. Don't trust them 😜Meh, my guy is SO lazy (or stupid). He digs down about 1-2 inches with 80% of his shell showing and gives up. Mostly he just sits and watches the world go by, and sleeps
