Tortoises are vegetarians, so feed it any salad that you would eat.

feed him small amounts fruits and vegetables. just be warned that tortoises live very long (up to 150 years) if you can dedicate your life to keep him that long then by all means keep it but if not release him.

tomatoes...lettuce.....cabbage
he will really enjoy a small live insect....you could injure a fruit fly's wing for him to feast on
if you have him in a box you need to give him fresh, clean water 2 times a day & clean his box daily
