Woodlouse
Since the weather has been so good today I was sitting outside watching the torts while sunbathing. Dior seen a little woodlouse and started chasing it until she caught it and ate it. She seemed to love it. Then Chanel started doing the same thing, they were going crazy for them. Does anyone elses torts enjoy these?

Yes I agree with letting them do what comes naturally-and they do eat all manner of yuck.As for stones,no matter how much calcium I make available,my 3year old ibera consumes stones all the time.Before hibernation last year I gave her pellets for a week and guess how many stones-big ones-came through?No less than 9!!
