Hi! So long story short my little sister was vacationing in Florida and found a tortoise. Without researching it first she decided to bring it back home to Indiana. Turns out she's illegal to mess with. My sister was not equipped to deal with the care involved so I ended up adopting Patty to try and give her the best life possible. 2 years later she's doubled in size and has a huge personality.
My question is related to diet and bedding as there is very very little info out there on proper care. What ii the best substrate for them to tunnel in? We have the space to let her dig but I want to know what is safest for her to tunnel in. Also I've noticed she's very picky and can only get her to eat red cabbage, kale, butter lettuce and baby greens. Is there anything else I should be adding to her diet?

What she looked like when I got her.
