At the moment my tortoise Elliot/ Lottie has a diet of bagged salad, sometime cucumber, broccoli, dandelions, tomatoes, grapes, he :<3: avacado,lettuce ( but not and never iceberg), apples, strawberries (when its the season), i also have a cuttle fish in his cage. I was just wondering if this is the wright selection and if there was anything else I could add to it.

Elliot looks like a russian/ horsefied and if he is your diet needs some work. No veggies or fruits for him. He needs broadbase leaves. Dandelion is ok, plantain, mallow, mulberry leaves grape leaves, hibiscus leaves, thistle. If you have to do store food do endive, escrole, kale collard, mustard greens. Romaine is ok once in a while but not a lot of value there.
Here is a good site to help
