Very sparingly as the sugars in fruit aren't easily digested by most tortoises.

That goes for all fruit! Even tomatoes and carrots, as a varied diet

one or two slices of an apple a month won't hurt I wouldn't feed more than that though

Strawberry tops are a good idea. Does anyone know if they can have strawberry vines? They grow wild around here.

My sully adores strawberry tops and will also munch on the plants, though the plants don't seem to be one of his favorites.

Thanks guys, I won't actively seek them out, but I also won't banish them from the pens.

Every now and then I'll give my Sulcata a 5lb bag of apples with no ill effects. I wouldn't feed it everyday day..
