If she is eating like there is no tomorrow, I really suspect a parasite. Can you collect a fresh fecal sample and get it to the vet for processing? No use treating for parasites if that's NOT the problem. As Donna mentioned, I feed mine baked yams and they love it and chow down bigtime. However, I do this in moderation...after all, where does a Chuckwalla find baked yams in the desert?? LOL Same with the Mazuri Tortoise pellets. Most of mine love this, but some won't touch it. I feed it to them straight-no water-but again, it has no moisture and shouldn't be given as a staple. Like the yams, the pellets are a treat! Good luck.
