Aww, what a little darling. Good to hear the pair of them are gradually gaining weight.

I don't give it to my Horsfields but my spurs love it especially chopped up or in half and have no problem with runny poops. The little ones like Elenor, and above sup the juice out leave the actual tomato. I think when bigger they will bite into it. I try and grow trailing ones in the enclosures in summer but careful of the leaves - not so good for them but mine leave them alone. CB
