I am wondering what kind of veggies to feed my tort I have tried carrots bell pepper and mushrooms but he doesn't seem to like them so what can I try that will be easy for him to bite because he's only a baby also he can't open his mouth enough to eat his cuttle bone so what should I give him for calcium? One more question any recommendations on what to use as a base diet?

You can feed your YF tortoise the same way they feed RF tortoises. Have you read this site:

Tortoise Library

You should find a good base diet there.

I take a small pinch of calcium powder between my thumb and index finger and sprinkle it over the food 3 times a week.
