Tortoises need a highly VARIED diet of WILD flora. Lettuce is not even good for them. Cucumbers and most other grocery store fruits vegetables should be only fed as an occasional treat. I am so annoyed at the amount of people showcasing their pet tortoises yet can’t even give them the basic proper care they need. It’s fucking infuriating!!!! Adult tortoises need a huge amount of space to explore and roam, they are not house pets!!!!!!! If you can’t keep an exotic animal properly then don’t have one it’s that simple

#sick of seeing improper pet care spread around by vloggers who get so popular and spread misinformation-#only leading to more people buying these pets and mistreating them in the same way because they can’t be bothered to do basic research on #a pet that now depends on them for its life 😡#pets are not trends pets are not fashion!!!!!#so many unhealthy tortoises due to lack of proper nutrition and stimulation and ppl don’t even care because it’s a reptile or whatver #they are slow but they should still have plenty of energy and healthy growth #they depend on the proper nutrition to avoid growing up with deformities and sickness!!! it’s literally vital and it’s not a simple diet #they don’t live off lettuce ffs 🤦‍♂️#tortoise #tortoises #reptiles #pets #it’s not #cute #to treat reptiles like dogs
