Hello!
Here is one seed mix you can, probably, order (or just look what plants are in the mix):
https://www.agrobs.de/en/testudo-saatgut-p3236/ (I believe it was on Amazon a while ago). However, many plants from Testudo native range aren't easy to grow inside.

Chia, wheatgrass, dandelions, clover, ornamental mallow, dichondra, pansies, endive seeds should be easy to find. I suggest also to look at thetortoisetable.org.uk for a list of edible plants and then check what seeds you can get.

You can grow anything you see listed as tortoise food. You don't need a mx. You can grow a bunch of things separately and then mix it on feeding day, or just alternate different foods on different days. Some things grow well in a given area or season, so I would try to grow a whole bunch of different things and figure out what work well in your area.
