Hi, I recently inherited a Russian tortoise who is about 15-20 years old. From what I have been told, he has been fed a diet of tortoise pellets and romaine lettuce for (what I believe) most of his life. He appears to be in relatively good health with only minor shell deformities. However, he seems to be lethargic most of the time, but it may be from being in a new environment. I have read online that a diet of fresh veggies is best so I was planning on slowly switching him to a fresh veggies diet and using TNT and cuttlebones as supplements. However, after a visit to a pet store i was informed that a pellets provide a better balanced diet. This is my first tortoise and I could really use some opinions on this matter because I can not decide what to do..
