Hi i have a red foot tortoise that will just eat tortoise diet if i give him/she tortoise diet he/she will not eat his/she greens what should i do to get him/she to eat his/she greens or she/him is ok to eat tortoise diet
A trick I use with my tort is to chop up the tortoise diet into small granules, then sprinkle over the greens. I will mist it with water afterwards so that the diet sticks to the greens better. Works pretty darned good for me.
Your gonna have to play hardball. If you give a kid a choice between broccoli and chocolate there gonna choose chocolate everytime. Hold out the Tortoise chow for a couple days and only offer greens and a little fruit. He won't starve himself to death, he will eat the greens eventually.
