I would be more concerned about the tomatoes, that's a lot acid. Cucumbers are great if you want the tortoise to lose weight. Meal worms have been known to eat holes in baby tortoises in the night.

Red Footed tortoises will eat just about anything, and can eat more protein than most tortoises, but they are better off eating food LOW in protein and high in fiber, vitamin A, D3 and Calcium. Green & yellow squash, carrots, green beens (raw) a little fruit now and then. Cactus pads cut up in bit size pieces, mushrooms and a lot of dandy lions and clover. Saok them at least every other day when inside.
