Is it ok to feed my 7 month old RF forest tortoise juvenile soft pellets?

Agreed with not wanting to add store bought plants right away is there some that I can start from scratch and how large should I wait until I can put them in. What kinda soil should I plant them in? Should I leave them in the potting container or take them out and put them in the terrarium...

Well with the 100w heat bulb the temps were in the 70 degree range. Now with the 150w. They stay just above 80 degrees. And we have that special miss inside the dark hide and spray it down regularly.
