I feed her 3 days with dandelion greens or any other leafy green, and one day with fruits and one that’s mixed with both. The rest of the week I don’t feed him. I’ve been trying to acquire a repti vitamin supplement for her but she is VERY picky, any recommendations?

Feed every day
And feed a wide variety every day

Redfoot can eat flowers, leaves, fruit, greens, mushrooms, meat, eggs, cactus, prepared foods like MAZURI, etc.
They have the largest food menu of any tortoise species.
There's no reason to not have a large selection of things you can feed them. So mix it up.
Feed daily what he can eat in ten minutes. Then remove the leftovers so that it doesn't attract ants

After you read the care sheets I linked for you on your other thread, you'll see a nice variety of foods you can add to Snappy's diet.
