Ensure that you add calcium carbonate onto all food, even the pre alpin. How old is your tort and are you giving nutrobal supplement as well?
thanks

we are adding limestone powder and nutrobol to his food and adding new foods gradually. today he has attacked a viola for the 1st time.he is 3 but sold as a 1 year old. i was a little naive but now just want to do the best i can for him. he has put on weight since he got here so i hope we are heading in the right direction.
thanks for your advice

It's great when what you are doing is working, isn't it.
Good luck

oh thanks. yes its great. i just hope we keep heading the right way. another weighing this weekend. i didnt like work before but i really am allergic to it right now.would love to stay at home all day just to watch him but luckily i have decent hours. he is going to be over wintered. he is still very shy but i have to remember he has gone through massive changes over the last few weeks and that he is accepting new foods slowly so heres fingers crossed for him. really appreciate your advice
