Leopard Tortise

My girlfriend and I just got a Leopard Tortise in early February. (my V-Day present to her) At the pet store, they fed him only lettuce, which is not the best for proper nutrients from the research we've done. Now he won't eat anything but lettuce and occasionally some corn. We've been trying to get him to eat tiffany grass and some other stuff but he just isn't eating. Any suggestions on better ways to open up his diet?



The smiley is just cause I'm a star wars dork...

Is their any kind of treat that you could crush and shake over the tiffany grass? Or maybe wetten the grass? Just some ideas. This was posted a few days ago, how is he doing?

The produce manager at the store I work at has a bunch of tortises, and she gave me some blueberries as treats. He'll eat those, but we don't want to give them too often, maybe once a week. He's eating some corn that we put out, and a bit of grass, but not much else.

Could you smash blueberries into some tiffany grass to get him to eat more?
