I tried a number of times but they wouldn’t eat them. Aloe however was another thing and they’d devour it but only if I put the plant in the table. If I cut off pieces to put on their slate with their food, they’d turn their nose up. Put in the entire plant and it’d disappear!
Such particular creatures...how could anyone call torts boring?!
