Hellooo

My little Russian Teddy is eating very well, which I am pleased about, but he only seems to eat the same weed. I have tried different weeds, leafs but he wont touch anything other than a sowthistle. I want him to have a varied diet so he will be fit and healthy.Any ideas. He is weeing and pooing ok so no probs there.
The weed I am talking about is very similar to the Dandelion leaf.I think it's sowthistle, I may have the wrong name but do know its safe.

Hi

It is best for Teddy to have a varied and balanced diet, but he is not the only tortoise to have developed a favourite food item!  Try mixing in more different weeds with a smaller amount of sowthistle, hopefully he will start picking out some other tasty items too!

Hello, Thank you for that advice. Well I tried something else today and it didnt work :( He hadnt eaten all day so I added some tasty florette lettuce to what was already in there and guess what, he started to eat it all! He is so cheeky! lol Must have been starving.

Aren't they all:-)
