I looked up strawberries on The Tortoise Table app and it said don't feed the fruit, but I thought that you could feed them to your tortoise but very rarely. Can I feed them to my little hermmans or should they be avoided. I have never given them to her before so I am just checking before I do ( if I can give her them). Thanks!

Your hermanns tortoise should not have fruit. An occasional bite of strawberry is ok, but not on a regular basis.

I feed the leaves of the plant and while I never feed them the whole fruit, I do cut the tops off and give them to my various tortoises

Fruit is not good for them. The leaves are good tortoise food as long as they aren't treated with pesticides.
