What do your Russian torts like?

[misskendra]

I've been going through care sheets after care sheet but I thought I would ask on here.

What do your Russian tortoises enjoy or especially like? What are your staple foods in your tortoise's diet?

my 4 russians enjoy dandelion leaves,and romaine lettuce they love to graze out the garden and are very healthy xx

Hibiscus (Rose of Sharon) flowers are #1. Squash blossums, Allyssum flowers and leaves, radicchio, Belgian endive, watercress, off the top of my head.
They get other greens/weeds and eat them, but they rarely turn these down. I do try to mix it up, as they may love something one day, then ignore it the next.

LeRoy seems to absolutely love it when I give him mustard greens. He's also quite fond of escarole, endive, turnip greens, and fresh picked and washed leaves from one of the many mulberry trees growing in my back yard.
