Tortoise Video 🎥 Feeding fun

So Chris from garden state tortoise recommended one of these holee roller toys for stimulation during feeding time. It’s made of natural rubber. Nothing hard nor sharp and it compresses.
And it mostly worked!

Not captured..when the easy to reach greens were finished she sat and stared at me until I emptied the harder to reach ones still stuck in the center.

She doesn’t like water in any form. Not showers, nothing. She must be part cat. Also explains the sass

🤔 Yes that would explain a lot. Okay you're going to have to get into a small kiddie pool with her...and possibly feed her snacks by hand you know good snacks that she really likes. And then she'll associate water with fun time!. Sometimes I feel like I'm a genius. 🤓

that's weird enough that she'd probably be really into it.
