Hi everyone
I have had my tortoise about 4yrs and i have given him loads of different foods and he doesn't eat them. Here's a list of what i've tried:
cos Lettuce - Hardly ever eats
Mushrooms- Loves
Papaya- eats a little ever now and again
Prickley pear- loves but cant always get them in the UK
Watercress- won't eat
Slugs- loves, but aren't easy to find
Earthworms- Loves, but not easy to find in summer
Banana- He eats this when i give it once a month (treat)
Tomatoes- Eats
Cucumber- doesn't eat
mango- Doesn't eat
When it's hot enough he's been outside and been eating grass and clover but doesn't like dandelion leaves.
Does anyone know of anything else i can try that he will eat and that is good for him.
Thanks for any advice

Lianne
