The amount of food Batty my baby tortoise goes through.
I would say is unbelievable. But most animals that graze have to eat a lot. A 3” long piece of romaine just the center part left. A couple celery ends with leaves gone. Spinach and collard greens gone. Plus some leaves from a packaged spring salad mix gone. The pile was wider and taller than Batty. Now it’s just a few remnants of the original pile.

Found this YouTube immediately! Little turtle on a little board:
Hoping for the very best for your new tortoise friend!
I had no idea that they would follow fellow critters around if given the opportunity!
What a surprise!
Thanks!
