True.
Tortoises that have outdoors enclosures don't go without eating if they aren't fed for a day of two.
aha I was wondering because i was told to only feed my tortoise two to three times a a week, i've been feeding her on a every other day schedule her whole life she is 8, and she is doing great never had to visit a vet, sometimes i would go a full week or even more with no food at all, and she does great with whatever she finds in my garden.

I feed mine almost every day.
If I can't or don't get around to it, there's still plenty to eat.
Their enclosure is all weeds and plants.
