I got this info from Philippe de Vosjoli's book "General Care and Maintenance of Popular Tortoises."

The Marginated Tortoise:

- Is the largest of the European Tortoises (females 10 inches, males 12 inches)
- Is hardy, can be kept like the Hermann's tortoise
- Hibernation is recommended for this species.
- Diet is standard tortoise fare (mostly weeds, grasses, much like the spurred tortoises your parents have)

Below is a link to a good site for Hermann's tortoises, which should help you out with a Marginated tortoise. It also has a tortoise forum with many experienced Hermann's keepers.
