My tortoise doesn't like eating coriander leaves

[mauthetortoise]

My friend gave me his tortoise to me as he couldn't take care of her bcoz of busy schedule it's been 5 months that I have her at my place. She was eating coriander leave in the starting days but now she hates eating coriander though she eats hibiscus flower and it's leaves, lady finger, cucumber, carrot, papaya. Is it completely normal for tortoise not eating coriander or should it be on her diet.if yes how should I make her eat it. Thank you
