how can i boost my torts?

[trulytortoises]

I dont think my torts are unwell, no runny noses, eyes bright & clear, they do sleep quite alot when indoors but are always on the go when outdoors. They dont seem to be very fussed when it comes to eating, cavalli does eat more than willow, I put out a varied diet for them of different weeds etc, they have a little nibble then walk away, if u put down the yellow dandy flower head they will eat away at them, but i know they arnt good to be fed all the time. If u were to give them romaine lettuce they would eat this all day long, but they turn their noses up at most weeds, they just arnt good eaters and dont seem bothered by food much. I wondered if i could give them some sort of boost abit like how we have extra vitamins etc, i sprinkle there food with either reptivite or lime stone flour on different days, they have a bath every day for approx 25/30mins. Is it worth getting some reptiboost or critical care formula to put in their baths to boost them abit?

Have you checked temperatures? It could always be that they're too warm or cold inside so just want to sleep?

Also when do you feed them? When I feed mine in the mornings they spend most of the rest of the day lounging around, but if I leave it until about lunch time (e.g. on weekends) they run around all morning looking for food!! When I put them out and I'm there to supervise I try to put them on the lawn and let them find their own weeds to eat, and so they have to walk to find food. I read on here ages ago that you should hide bits of food to make it a bit more of a challenge for them, rather than just plonking it in front of them- they just get lazy that way!!

Unfortunately I usually end up plonking it in front of them early in the morning and then going to work, so I am ignoring all my own advice!!
