Thanks Josh. That breakfast was a mix of chickory, romain, radiccaio, bell peppers and hibiscus greens... sprinkled with nutrobal and a calcium & vitimin D suppliment. Other times I sometimes throw in kale, broccolli and a couple slices of cucumber chopped up, turnip greens and prickley pear cactus pads. I have some TLady seeds that I have planted in some trays and I'm hoping to get some good weeds from that.

Hi,
Don't mean to put a downer on your lovely pictures, but your tortoises aren't getting the best diet! Most of those foods (except hibiscus greens) are bad.
Radiccaio is okay in moderation, but i only feed in winter when there are no natural weeds about, the smae goes for romaine.
Kale, broccoli are high in oxalics which inhibits the uptake of calcium. Pricky pear (Opuntia cacti) is fine but only as a treat as too often and it can cause runny poo (YUK!
)
I would feed a more natural diet, such as dandelions, plantain, clover, nipplewort ect.
a good list is on:

Don't like to put a downer on things, I just like to think I am helping your torts
