Tortoise eating cat food!!!!!
Posted: 20/12/2010 by Danzac7

Hi,

There is a Horsefield tortoise eating cat food on this website, I am worried the owner maybe getting ill advised, I'm worried it isn't getting the nutrients it needs, Poor Tortoise!!! :(

Idiots arent they, the damage is already showing itself on the tort, the carapace is pyramiding and thickening, the torts body is beginning to look too big for the shell, wonder what the damage inside is, poor tort.  Bet they wont listen to advice tho Click and drag me down to the editor

Hi
I bet these people think this is normal behaviour!! what website was it? maybe a posting to them might point out that is dangerous to the tortoise. Very sad isn't it?
