At first I tricked him into eating it by mixing cucumber and squash in with his Mazuri and as soon as he took a bite of a squash, he went crazy for it! He looked like a shark trying to get some meat! My whole family came to see him because he was moving so fast trying to get it all!

 

[Levi the Leopard]

remind me, how old is your lil one?

 

[TortoiseBoy1999]

He's 7 months! And he's from Eweezyfosheezy! Did I already say that? How often should I feed the cucumber and squash to him!

 

[sibi]

As often as he likes. It can't hurt him.

I usually get one cactus pad from Vallarta but when I went there last time I saw they had a bag of cactus that was 7" long and 3" radius of chopped up cactus! For $3.59! What a deal! So I got it for my tort's and mixed it with my Leopards Squash/Cucumber!

What substrate do you use in the I closure?

 

[TortoiseBoy1999]

I thought the cucumber was bad.....or T least of no value.....to torts. Have I been wrong this whole time???

Well no one has tolled me that it was bad so I think it's ok

 

[Floof]

I've always heard cucumber was of no value, too. Squash is great once a week, so is cactus, but cucumber... Probably doesn't hurt as a treat, anyway.

GORGEOUS tort! He's so cute!

 

[TortoiseBoy1999]

Thanks he just loves it!

Also, my dad got these cactus pear fruit things at the store. Can he eat some? I know they are high in sugar so it would be just a treat

 

[Irwin4530]

My Russians LOVE the prickly pears!!

I wait for them to go on sale....around here that's about 2 for $3.....and I buy one for everybody!!

I skin them first...
