Komodo Tortoise food Fruit & Flower
Hi i have purchased some Komodo Tortoise food Fruit & Flower food for my tort.She really isn't interested in it.Is there any thing i can do to get her to eat this.Im guessing that because it isn't natural looking she isn't interested.Thanks

My hermanns love it but my leopard isn't too keen.
The hatchlings love it too but they don't like the green ones. |

I don't know what to say Darren, I gave it to mine for the first time this week and they loved it, really chomped into it, try it with lots of different things I guess.

It just sometimes take time and perseverance to be honest.
I have had my leopard for over 6 years took him 4 years to eat grass and 6 to eat pellets I gave them everyday and eventually he just tried it and then ate the lot Thanks Sara |
