Weed frustration

[Neilgerard]

Hi. I'm the owner of a CB12 leopard tortoise which I happily purchased in January. Up to the early part of April I was feeding him with Florette crispy salad with the addition of chopped grass and vitamin and mineral supplements as and when required. Now the weeds have started to grow I've started to add these to his diet but he totally refuses them. I've tried chopping everything upso he can't separate out the weeds. I've put in nothing but weeds for a couple of days but he point blank refuses to eat them. He's currently 212g so only a small chap and I can't bear to see him not eat. The longest I've managed to hold out is three days. He'd kill for Radiccio and lambs lettuce but face him with plantain or dandelion and totally turns up his nose HEEEEEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!!

Naughty tortie For a little while could you try some cucumber juice on the weeds, that might tempt him
