When choosing food for the western tortoise, we also need to pay attention to one problem, that is, as they grow up, their tastes will change to some extent. When they are young, they will prefer to eat vegetarian food. As they grow older, and as adults, they prefer to eat vegetarian food. Therefore, you can flexibly adjust the types of food you feed them according to their preferences.
