I am on tortoiseforum and the tortoisetable daily so I know the answer to this question is: as much as possible.
However even though I really try, I am worried that I am not giving my greek enough variety in his diet.
During sommer I feed only weeds. My tort mostly gets:
1. plaintain (broad and narrow leaf) 60%
2. dandelion (leaves and flowers) 30%
3. clover (leaves and flowers) 10%
also rarely wild violets, wild rose pedals and forget-me-nots when I can find them. I also try giving young strawberry leaves and Creeping Thistle but he ignores them.
I can't find the other weeds on tortoisetable in my area so basically the bulk of my tort's diet is 3 weed types.
Should I be worried?
(By the way I am growing a tortoise seed mix in my outdoor enclosure which should help soon but during winter it's almost impossible to grow enough indoors)
