Sorry haven't got any advice for you just a question or two!

How old is your gorgeous tortoise ?

And do you know how big the breed is fully grown?

May I ask what substrate you are using? I can't tell from the pics that well but it seems to be sand or the bare bottom of the enclosure. Many keepers on the forum prefer to use coco coir, which can be found at the pet store or a home improvement store. Relatively high humidity is also important for hatchlings, and coco coir helps to maintain that but is safe for them to ingest. Sand is not the best as it can cause digestive blockages.

In addition, many members on the forum like to use the Testudo seed mix from tortoise supply, which contains many of the plants these tortoises love to eat. Some people grow them directly in the enclosure, others outside then use the mature plants for food. Either way, those would be good plants to add if that's what you're looking for. However, they should still be part of a mixed diet overall.
