Tortoises are grazing animals, so they like grasses and weeds. You have to be careful about what kinds of vegetables you give them though. Dark leafy greens are great in moderation. They should be eating mostly grass with greens as a supplement. NEVER feed a turtle or tortoise iceberg lettuce. They also love Opuntia cacti. Make sure that everything you feed them is not treated with pesticides before you give it to them. Also, change their diet every so often to keep things interesting.
