My yellowfoot is almost 2months now and I am concerned with his diet variety he currently eats cactus,spring mix,romaine,butternut squash,strawberries and carrots and sometimes mazuri. I have tried other fresh greens like turnip greens and collards but he does not like them. Is his current diet enough if not what else can I try?

If it eats Mazuri, you can try the 50/50 diet- 1/2 of weekly diet would be Mazuri and the rest the sort of things you have been offering.

Lots of the forest-dwelling tortoises do not eat as many greens as we might want them to, but some other things you can try would be mushrooms (especially the types OTHER than the basic white 'button'), green or red peppers, tropical fruits such as kiwi, mango, fig and papaya (light on banana), pineapple, cabbage, kale, and lots more.
