He wants more food, and is happy chomping awasy, is it safe for him to have as much as he wants?

Thanks, I'm baby sitting him and he seems hungry, so I'm feeding him morning and afternoon. I have been told not to give him fruit! Is this correct?? my other tortoises love a variety of fruits!!

To add to what Tom said, Be careful not over to overfeed with grocery greens. It could lead to chronic diarrhea and a red bum.

If the tortoise gets plenty of exercise, then no, you can't overfeed. However, if the tortoise just eats and sleeps, then yes, you can overfeed.
