Zippy a California Desert Tortoise eating like a pig.

My tortoise Zippy eats faster than you can feed him/her. On this occasion Zippy happens to be eating some lettuce which *he/she rarely gets because it lacks nutrients. This is average speed for Zippy; he/she eats much faster if it's something he/she likes or if I am doing the feeding. Zippy is by no means starving; he/she's just taking care of business. He/she's only 6 years old and has finally become a semi-proficient eater. *He/she not to be mistaken for hermaphrodite.

Thank you for commenting and the info. I have concluded that he is a she. Zippy has been registered since she was just a little peanut. (although I was worried she might not pass smog).
