Oh yes they certainly will!! I tend to keep Doozer away from the other two for half an hour when they are eating, and then let him have his go! The other two are much more polite. I do leave what is left, as it is generally grass, and then Doozer keeps going back and eating it!

Hi there Boris and Doris are Hermann's, if you have a look at the top part of the tort forum there is a sticky about caring for Mediteranean torts.... I am no good at doing links to these kind of things.

I wouldn't keep them in a viv though, they are much happier in a tort table, which really just looks like a draw! I kept Boris in a viv for the first year I had him, fed him on a nasty dry food and he is a bit bumpy . All my other torts have been kept in tort tables, only fed weeds and have lovely smooth shells

Fraggle Rock you see.... If of course you are old enough to remember it!! Doozer is from Fraggle Rock too, and Clanger, well he is from The Clangers, who I do a very good impression of!
