So if you put your torts everyday in a planted outdoor enclosure do you still supplement their diet or let them forage nd find food themselves?

With my group it really all depends upon what and how much there is for the tortoises to eat in their habitats.

With the Aldabrans I give them a once a week feeding of Mazuri, but other than that I don't feed them at all.

The leopards, steppe tortoises, Dudley the sulcata and the desert tortoises only graze. I occasionally cut branches off the mulberry tree and toss in their habitats.

Along with the grazing, I feed the Manouria about once a week a large meal of fruits and veggies.

My tortoises' yards are pretty big and there is plenty of grazing material for them.
