Someone gave me a tip and I've looked back at posts and I can't find who it was, but they were spot on:
I have an ill Red Foot that only eats a little fruit. She wont eat out in her yard. Only in her house and she wont eat out of a plate or a bowl or even off of a piece of lettuce..Only off of the ground.
She came from a breeder and they were always fed by just dumping the stuff in the dirt.
If you have a tortoise that is new to you and wont look at food, try placing it right in the substrate.
