@Lyn W will be able to help with what she feeds Lola

I will add that your tort should be on as many weeds as possible. Don't hold back on the dandies.

Lettuce has little fibre and few nutrients.

Carrots are on the 'very sparingly and very occasionally' list as your tort cannot digest sugars properly - they cause digestive and kidney problems. Other sweet foods to be avoided include fruit, bell pepper and tomato.

Look up the greens that grow around you and those you can buy on The Tortoise Table Plant Database for suitability
