The man in the picture is simply holding the piece of tomato in the wrong position. He need to hold the piece straight forward in alignment with the turtles mouth, not oblong. I remember this from having my pet turtle for years named Zeppo after my favorite band at the time, Led Zepplin. He was such a fantastic pet and spoiled rotten. When I moved I gave him to my cousin Steven as he just loved Zeppo to! And yes, Zeppo lived a full life and got quite big.

Poor little Kevin- He is in real danger of starving to death. Can't his eyes be fixed? Why doesnt the helper try to guide it to him? He doesn't seem to be learning from the xperience since even with his little hand on the tomato he still misses.I would really wrry about his survival- after all how many calories are even in a tomato. He seems to be expending more energy thanhe is taking in, even with help!
