One way to get a more varied diet into a picky eater is to chop up the favorite food into very tiny pieces. I mean, VERY TINY. Then mix in a bit of something else, also chopped small. You just add a small amount of the un-wanted food item to the wanted food item, gradually increasing the amount over time. It may take months. And you may have to back off a bit if the tortoise won't eat it.
