Picky eater?
« on: May 18, 2006, 07:29:53 AM »
Hey, I just got a female RT about 4 or 5 days ago. The only thing it will eat so far is romaine lettuce...

Is this normal? What else should I try feeding it?

Thanks!

Hi,

Joe has a great care sheet on this site.  Take a look and try to give your tort a variety.  Sometimes they (torts) are like children and will only eat what they like. If they are hungry enough they will eat the healthy variety of greens you provide.  Also, in addition to the care and diet sheets, there is a great list of edible plants that Joe provides.
