This is actually the most fun part. I have a hydroponics system running through my enclosure. BUT that's excessive lol. Clover, various lettuce types dandelions mustard greens all grow fairly quick and can be snacked on year round.make sure to have a grow light as plants use a different part of the light spectrum. You can get a decent one for 30-50 as an led. Stay away from the cheap ones as that will only get the plant started but they will die when they to big or plant them outside and bring in as needed. Also if you have plants in the cage the starts need to be out of reach as the torts willll mow through them
