The Tortoise Table

And here he is eating his sand free weeds from his slate

The lovely people on the Facebook page went to the trouble of sending me pics of tortoises that were blind as a result of scratches on their eyes from sand (apparently) and x rays of tortoises with sand blockages

Thank you so much for the pics! I feel much better now

I'm sure all substrates could potentially be hazardous...at the end of the day, we're all just trying to do our best and so far, Morel seems like a perfectly happy tortoise

Thank you again x

Thanks Nina! I think he is a happy and healthy tortoise :D I always feed him on a slate slab so his food isn't covered in substrate....just calcium powder ;) I always try to do the best by him....his table is lovely (even if I do say so myself!), he feeds on a 100% freshly picked weed diet at the mo...

Do these pics help at all? It's definitely a safe feed though

Found these in the garden today...safe or not

Could you let me know if these are safe feeds please?

Ooh....now you're just showing off

And I even worked out how to reduce the size of my photo

A pretty successful weed walk round the garden! I think I'll have one happy
