Hello and welcome!

Is there a way for you to have home delivery? You could order any fresh grocery greens and I believe the ‘tortoise hut’ and ‘tortoise treats uk’ are selling fresh edible weed bags!

Whilst you’re here, don’t suppose you’d mind sharing how you’re keeping your baby? It’s nice to see with new members

What are your temperatures like? Ie basking spot(directly under the bulb) overall day temps, night temps?
What kind of lighting and heating are you using specifically? Packaging photos are good if you have any!
Do you use indoor uv? If so what kind?
How’s your humidity reading? What do you use for substrate?

A photo of the full set up would be great! Along with one of your tortoise if you didn’t mind sharing more

Oh also you could get some of this stuff to add on top of feeds to help with variety! You soak each cube(quantities on packet) until soft
