hello all,

please help me on this, i got my hathcling CherryHead last week

it is about half year old, only 3in. long, so a small baby

I've been trying to feed him greens and fruits,
the first 2 days it ate some peaches/manderain orange, some strawberries, but NOT any veggies.


and this week i brought him the commercial tortoise food "Mazuri"
(because i remember in one of the care sheets i read it recommanded to feed that)

however my cherry does NOT eat Mazuri either, not even a tiny bite.



I want to ask experienced keepers, are Mazuris good food for them? if so how to get them start eating them?

also how come my cherry is not eating veggie? and even not eating fruits now, ----he likes to drink a lot thou, every time i put him in water bath he drinks a lot from the bowl,


thanks!!
