Actually over all, they are the easiest tortoises I have ever had.

Why would you EVER limit any tortoise to just melons and mushrooms? Just makes no sense at all to me.
I have actually heard of a few hingebacks who refused to ever eat in captivity and did die...even with the folks doing everything they could for them and doing it the right way.

Jacqui why would you say they are the easiest when Tanner is finding it so difficult.. that is about as insensitive as I've ever heard you be. Yeah I know... it would be best to be "honest" instead of trying to encourage someone!
Redfoot NERD said:AND I'm not saying to limit them.. I'm saying feed them only something we know for sure they will eat to make it easier on them and Tanner UNTIL they start eating on a regular basis.. let's go one step at a time for a new keeper.
