Seed mixes for Russians

[pebblesbee]

The tortoises I've recently taken over looking after have not had the best diet. They were constantly given the same food every day, light lettuce, carrot and fruit. I plan on remedying this! But I am new at it all and would appreciate advice.

I already grow dandelions, dark romaine and red lettuces, (and spinach and kale, are these ok to feed too?) and nasturtium flowers in my garden (I have pet rabbits that munch through it all happily), but I'd love to grow a greater variety of weeds etc just for the tortoises!

Are either of these suitable for Horsfields?

Or are there other suggestions anyone has? (UK based) Thanks!

P.S. I'm adding nutrobal to their food too.

I ordered those exact seeds and they came yesterday! I have a Hermanns and I believe that the diet is the same so these seeds will be perfect. I have a few weeds already growing outside, but wanted tortoise specific seeds so I know my tort is getting just what he needs. I've got some little plants potted, so I'll hopefully see the results in the next few weeks.

Spinach isn't the best but the rest sounds good. The seed sites you posted sounds good to me.

Thanks both! I'll order some
