Hello! I’m a new owner of a 9 months red footed tortoise named Coco. For the last two to three weeks Coco is not eating anything green. I’ve tried with kale, romaine and mix of frises and radicchio. Also, what protein will be best. I’ll apreciare any advise.

Assuming that he's otherwise healthy and that your husbandry is correct, its perfectly normal for a young tortoise to get spoiled and go on a hunger strike.
Luckily, greens only make up a portion of a RF diet. So just offer less of everything else for a few weeks.
They WILL eventually eat anything when they get good and hungry and will usually outgrow the being so picky thing.
