Answer 1

They can eat a wide variety of grasses, weeds, and greens. They can also eat some leaves and flowers, such as hibiscus flowers and mulberry leaves. I'd avoid fruits. Variety is the key to a healthy tortoise. Don't forget opuntia cactus pads (a.k.a. prickly pear cactus but there are spineless varieties) - you can order them from www.russiantortoise.org Remove any spines before offering it to the tortoise

Don't forget the UVB and heat light if kept indoors, and a calcium suppliment.

Greek tortoises are voracious eaters. you want to call a reptile vet ASAP. Tortoises can fall ill very straight away and when they do, it would want to get undesirable quick!! strong success...Greek tortoises are impressive pets!!!
