I haven’t noticed any of my tortoises attempt it. The plants are very tough and can’t be bitten off. An ingenious tortoise might figure out how to swallow a leaf though.

@KevinGG wow! awesome! how would you recommend to encourage them to breed? i moved my greek tortoises indoors since its way to cold for them to be housed outside.

There are several things you can do. Greeks, for the most part, tend to be pretty straightforward. You can separate the males and introduce in the spring and fall, lower temps overnight, give them a good misting. But for the most part, come spring they know what to do.
