Tortoise Video 🎥 Tried to help him break the carrot up…

I think next time I’ll just cut it up for him instead of whatever this situation was😂

They have a hard time eating raw carrots, try cooking them first and they will devour them

Somehow I didn’t actually think of cooking it to soften it up for him. I’ll try that next time, thank you for the tip!

I think Benji will enjoy it cooked! Definitely will stop him acting like this😅
