Default Whats the best thing i can give hardcore for christmas?

I always buy the cat a christmas gift, so I thought it would be rude not to get Hardcore something! But what can you possibly buy a tort for christmas, Do they have a delicasy food they like. . i heard they like slugs and that they were good for them?

A few extra weeds is the ideal treat. Remember that torts don't understand rewards/treats, like a dog or human does. Perhaps a tiny slice of cucumber would be nice for him. As a one off, of course!

Giving treats would only really make you feel better and not the tortoise. Xmas is like any other time to him
