'This video was taken one day later than the first one. Again the little Egyptian ate after a soaking. And again only after repeatedly putting the tortoise in front of it\'s food. This time required several tries. Every time the tortoise was placed in the food dish, all it wanted was to leave. On the last try, the little guy just sat there seemingly saying \"OK fine. I\'ll eat.\" Which it did! It ate a good portion of it\'s meal. I\'d say it ate for nearly 12-15 minutes. Hopefully it will eventually eat without having to be coerced... In this video, the Egyptian was fed a mix of greens: Endive, Grocery Dandelion (Chickory), Organic Spring Mix Prepared Salad (which may contain the following: green and red Oak Leaf, green and red Romaine, Red Leaf, Lollo rosa, Tango, baby Spinach, green and red chard, Mizuna, Arugula, Mache, Frisee, Raddichio), finely chopped Kaytee brand Orchard Grass Hay, moistened ZooMed Grassland Tortoise pellets (both the hay and pellets sprinkled over the greens) and all dusted with Rep-Cal with D3. After watching the video myself, I can see that her greens need to be chopped into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat.'
