: i would definately change his diet! try squash, mustard greens, turnip greens, carrots, dandelion greens. and try chopping them up together and offer a small bit at a time. if you find something he likes, chop it up with a variety of veges and eventually he will be eating everything. no iceberg lettuce though, try romaine. and i wouldn't recommend any commercial and/or canned foods. fresh veges are better. i chop about three days worth and keep in the fridge. check out http://www.tortoise.org/geninfo.html for some plants and melissa kaplins site for good nutrition and care sheets http://www.sonic.net/~melissk/

good luck. sonja
