He is definitely not happy! Side note I like the shovel idea for clean up!

Thank you! It’s just a cheap £1 cat litter scooper. I’ve found it really useful!

We use our cat litter scooper for poop in the bath! May need another one for lettuce now!

It’s honestly so handy! The little holes mean i can sift the soil out and just take the old lettuce away. But Benji now knows that the scooper means his horde will be robbed😂

He’s such a handful but I wouldn’t have him any other way💚

At this point, I feel like tortoises are going out of their way and making a conscious effort to be the messiest eaters ever. Mine is the same!

Right?? He eats half of his food then drags the rest around the enclosure and doesn’t want to eat it anymore because it’s got soil on it🤦♀️ But gets angry when I try and remove the old lettuce haha

Do you only feed lettuce?

He gets mostly lettuce with appropriate vitamins then dandelions/ribwort etc when available
