Feed the tortoise as much as it will eat every day.

For an adult male, you don't need much supplementation. A pinch of calcium mixed in with chopped greens once a week is plenty. Same for vitamin powder. With a good varied weedy diet, you really don't need any supplementation, but it certainly won't hurt to use a little.

Mazuri is a good supplemental food once or twice a week, but it isn't "necessary".

Fruit should never be fed to a Russian. Its too sugary.
