You raised these ???My wife grew up with Southern California Desert tortoises & later she and I raised dwarf Russians. I love to watch tortoises eat, so thank you for this. Tito looks like he's really digging in!
Ha! Out of all the animals we've had over the years, we've only had one of those. He was NOT friendly.You raised these ???

Omg! bet the tortoise became sick...they cannot handle protein this way. Amazing to see this. Tito does not know how to bite to attack or protect himself unlike...say...a snapping turtle for example...purely a defensive animal...Do not know the aggressive behavior of a huge tortoise, but, Holy Shit... Thanks for sharing....I am blown away...Hi Phil...thought you might like to see this

Tito just ate a huge plate of Kale, had seconds and gobbled down one cut up strawberry. He missed a couple bites of strawberry and I hand fed them to him...then wiped his lower mouth area and he ambled off to the corner of the dining area of our great room....Tomorrow, he will wake up about 9am and watch us for a while then head to the sliding glass door and we will let him out into the backyard for the day....at 3pm I search for him and bring him into the house for a plate of kale and the process repeats.... Not sure how long this will continue, but he is bulking up for the upcoming brumination where he sleeps for about 6 months... His diet is kale, grass from a patch of bemuda grass we have and flower pedals from a Texas Ranger shrub. No birds, thank you!
Best,
Phil
