Like Melis said, it depends upon how big the tortoise is and what species.

Well, a baby tortoise needs attention daily. It won't do to leave it alone for three days. Can you take it with you?

You have to start adding in the good food to the food he’s used to eating. Start with a small amount of good food, and gradually increase that while decreasing the bad food. Chop it all up really well so he can’t pick through it.

You still planning to go away? Is it that you have to leave him at your home completely alone for 3 days? Can you post a picture or two of your tortoise and his enclosure?
