: By dandelion greens, you mean just a regular old dandelion and its green parts only? And by grass seeds you mean regular plain old lawn seeds? Should he eat the Turnip bulb or only the greens as well? Im thinking of trying some tortoise graze mix from Turttlecafe.net, is that pretty good stuff.
: thx
: P.S. Prickly pears???? Cut the spines off or what?

Hey yeah, definately buy the mix from Turtlecafe.
You must keep in mind when feeding this Tortoise that
it's a "Desert" animal. Pretty much you need to
give it grasses, regular grass seed is fine just
get a mixture of some sort. You could let it eat your
lawn if you want, provided you don't use chemicals on it AT ALL.
Just feed it the green parts of the Turnip, get Turnip GREENS.
And yes cut the spines off, I think your tort may appreciate that.

Giovanni
on it.
