That is such a cool idea....
*grin*
clever owners make healthy torts....

: Here's a little tip I recently thought up, deworming my torto. It may be insignigicant to you all, but it may also help someone.
: The problem: How do you force liquid deworming medicine on an animal w/o lips? My very picky eater led me to this: Take a favorite LEAFED veggie, wrap a leaf around the tip of a syringe (no needle!) with the correct dose, then tempt the tortoise. As he bites through the leaf, he'll bite down on the syringe tip and pause for a second. Now carefully squirt it! Carefully because you don't want to have him dribble it all over his chelonian chin.
: Hope that helped.
