Do I stop the grocery store greens?

[Megatron's Mom]

Now that my two babies are eating grass, dandelion, clover, hibiscus leaves and flowers, rose leaves and flowers. I just introduced grape leaves too. When I identify more of the weeds in the yard they will get even more. Do I just offer these throughout the summer into fall early/winter? Will they get picky and forget that they liked the bok choy, turnip greens, and all the other grocery store stuff?

You can choose to stop or keep feeding to add a even bigger variety. Just use less of the grocery greens.
You can also try drying some of the weeds for winter feeding.

Tortoises can get attached to one or two foods and get picky over it but they won't starve themselves! If they get a little stubborn switching back in fall they will get over it soon enough. I personally would feed all the wild things I could get, the variety is so important.

Thanks, it's good to know they will not starve if I go all wild.

I feed my tortoises seasonally with what is available. I only use grocery store produce if there is absolutely nothing else available at that time of year. They will have no problem switching back to grocery store greens when/if that becomes necessary.

That was my plan but then I started worrying. Glad they will switch back if needed.

You are doing a fantastic job of feeding them well with all that stuff!

Keep going. Keep learning new weeds and food items and expand it even more.
