Fresh is best and variety is always key! The tortoise table link in this thread is good to check out!

Housing adult Russian and Hermans indoors

Hello there! In this thread I’m going to include some information an example of an appropriate indoor set up for an older Herman/russian. As much as it’s encouraged to have tortoises in a safe outdoor enclosure, I understand being from the uk myself, that some climates make it difficult to...

This is also good to get your hands on but you might need to order it online, it’s great for adding some variety though! You soak each cube in water(quantities on packet) and you can add it on top of the feed

I use Agrobs, it also has 60+ plant species and is low in fiber.

+1 for Agrobs. They have both pellets and toppers (for enriching grocery greens).

To avoid confusion - Agrobs is high in fiber and low in protein (there was a typo in The Four Toed Edward's post above).

Arcadia also has toppers for "supercharging" grocery greens (DragonFuel).

Hikari Mulberrific is also a good one, but I would use it as an amendment, not staple.

Out of grocery greens endive, escarole, chickory (Belgian endive), radicchio, frisee lettuce and ruccola are good. Some kale is also fine.
