Thanks so much for your replies so far. These additional questions came to me while I was lying awake worrying about Irene Niblova (the tortoise, as named by my kids): Where do you all place the food? We have chosen just across the halfway line between warm and cool in her habitat, closer to cool and on the side away from her pile of timothy hay that she likes to hide out in. Maybe it is too close to her hideout? Also, do you all tie placing of food to any other happening in the day that might be noteworthy, ie: just after turning lights on in the morning, or just after a soak/bath? Any other ideas about where and how? I do appreciate the suggestions for what: we tried a smidge of grated carrots and a little iceberg today. Wish us luck!
