 Overfeeding?
by: Emily

Hiya, I'm not sure what kind of tortoise you have, but I feed my tort once every 2 days, sometimes even once every 3!

Tortoises are grazers, but in captivity (given the chance) tend to eat everything they're given! Information I was given when I first got mine, was to not get into a daily feeding pattern and that variety of time and substance is important. Tortoises tend to poo in their bath as the warm water stimulates their digestive system.

Feeding them after they have woken up is a good time too!

Hope this helps!
