Weak tortoise
 
Hi!

I have 2 leopards named Dylan and Daisy who are both great and have such good personality's, im not 100% sure on their ages but i think dylan is 3-4 and Daisy is 2-3 so not sure if they are male of female lol so the names may change in the future. I wrote in to say that daisy is a rescue tortoise and I was told that her previous owners got bored of her and that she was fed just on lettuce and not alot done with her, My concern is she is a weak eater, as Dylan will just tear his food up she will sort of suck it and then give up almost so I do have to chop the food up really small for her but I was just wondering if theres anything i could do to help her or to just keep chopping up the food real small. Other than that she is a perfectly healthy tort, little bit on the slim side but she loves to walk around the garden and has such a great personality, any help would be great!!
Thanks
Will

My two are rescues, george 7 mildred 4. George was really underweight when I got him but once he got used to his new home he hasnt stopped eating. I feed them on lots of deifferent food, plantin, with other leaves. Have you had yours long and does she seem to be putting on weight?:-P
