There is nothing wrong with your tortoise preferring weeds. There are, however, many choices of weeds and flowers to add variety. The grocery store sells a lot of good ones, too. Romaine is like crack. Tortoises love it and become picky eaters. Cut it up and mix it into other foods. Gradually decrease the amount of romaine.

Mint isn't harmful but not usually accepted.

I always do a little dance of joy whenever someone says my tortoise only eats weed
