Im with Justin,
Make sure he is hydrated if he goes picky on you and missing a few meals wont hurt if he is healthy. If you havent had this one in for a parasite check yet and your seeing loose stools and runny nose or goopy eyes, this wouldnt be my defination of a healthy animal (there may be more to this picture)

If you chop things sooo tinsy that he cant pick them out and slowly increase the good things, this is another way of getting them onto a good diet.
Are you on the Russian tortoise list?
Im pasting the link. Lots of good folk there.
tcc :)

Throw away the iceberg. Make him eat endive, escarole, chicory, dandellion greens and radichio. Don't cave in, it defeats the purpose.

: Do not try to hibernate him, his fat stores from eating only iceberg would not be sufficient.
