A trick I use with my tort is to chop up the tortoise diet into small granules, then sprinkle over the greens. I will mist it with water afterwards so that the diet sticks to the greens better. Works pretty darned good for me.
Which "tortoise diet"? There are many.
Your gonna have to play hardball. If you give a kid a choice between broccoli and chocolate there gonna choose chocolate everytime. Hold out the Tortoise chow for a couple days and only offer greens and a little fruit. He won't starve himself to death, he will eat the greens eventually.
Easiest is to soak the tortoise food until mushy, then smear it over the greens.
