So this is our Titan ? he is a baby Horsfield about 6/10 months old I think! He’s healthy and happy and we are in love him and want the best for this little dude so we would like to know what Greens ? fruits ? and vegetables ? are best for him on a daily diet. (The Internet is very controversial).

clean weeds from your yard without herbicide or pesticides are best, followed by a few dark leafy greens. Tortoise table uk has an app you can take to the grocery store or the garden center to pick the best foods for the little guy.

Dandelion flowers and leaves are a seasonal favourite mine run for them when served! I also grow their favourites rose petals, hibiscus and hosta etc. Read the guides on this forum and the app previously mentioned. Have fun.

Broadleaf weeds are the best for him. The tortoise table is a very good website sourced above. You can learn about the weeds around where you live and which are good to feed. You can also post pictures on the plant ID section here and experts can help you. If you do not have access to safe weeds you can grow them too. I recommend http://www.tortoisesupply.com/TestudoMix
If you have to use grocery greens then your staples should include escarole, endive, and another green that you change every time to add variety. To help beef up that diet you can get products life salad topper http://www.tortoisesupply.com/salad-style-food-topper/ You can add dried hay to your salads here http://www.tortoisesupply.com/HerbalHay
You can also feed them Mazuri tortoise chow, and ZooMed Grassland tortoise food. A lot of times tortoises do not like ZooMed Grassland tortoise food so you can soak it and mix it with your greens. He is so cute and good luck. Owning a tortoise is one of the best experiences. :)
