I have two russian tortoises that
I keep indoors but let out to
graze and sun once or twice a week.

I rotate between a base of either
turnip greens or collard greens
and rarely mustard greens and kale.

With the base green I add one
or more of the following:

carrots
squash
frozen mixed veggies (very small amount)
pretty pets tortoise food
dandelions (flowers and leaves)
plantain
clover (flowers and green parts)
grass

And I always top it off with calcium/d3 powder.
Sometimes on the side they get some
chopped apple.
