I have a Red footed Tortoise and I cannot get her to eat any Greens...She will eat Tortoise food and super worms. I've tried the moist tortoise food to stimulate the appetite also, romain lettuce red leaf lettuce, Zuccini, yellow squash, mustard greens,danilion greens and still she won't touch it. She is healthy and active and doing great...she has a dish to soak in also...anyone have any ideas???

Thanks
Steph

Chop the greens up small and hide it in the food she will eat. Mist with some water, will make the greens stick better and harder for her to pick thru.

Thanks I will try that and see what happens....

Another idea that would work is to blend it all together in a blender with the worms and tortoise food.
