Hi, I am only watching these tortoises temporarily.
From what I have read I think this cage is not large enough, but I am unable to make large changes like that because I am only watching them temporarily.
Are there any minor changes I should make?

Well done :)

Feed from a flat rock or slate to increase beak abrasion and reduce overgrowth.

Swap the reptile water bowl for a terracotta plant saucer.

Make sure the substrate is moist and provides humidity.

Don't rely on a store bought diet - get some weeds in.

Introduce their real owner to this (It is red foot I think?)

I only see one tort, but you talk of more so this would be appropriate too
