Tortoise Food

Tortoises are generally herbivorous reptiles that require a variety of plant matter in their diet in order to be healthy. Examples of appropriate fresh foods for tortoises include timothy hay, alfalfa, dandelion greens, and collard greens. Fruit can be used as an occasional treat.

For optimum health, tortoises should be offered as much of a variety of appropriate foods as possible. High-quality commercial herbivore diets can be a great way to add this variety to your pet tortoise's diet.
