Russian tortoise

[Chewbacca8293]

Hello all does anyone have any Insight on a zoo approved diet for a Russian tortoise. I'm finding a lot of mixed information on what my new to me guy should be eating. We are currently doing kale, collard greens and butter lettuce but want to provide variety.

The British Chelonia Group has some useful information on the Russian/Horsfield tortoise here:
THE HORSFIELD TORTOISE (Testudo (Agrionemys*) horsfieldi) | British Chelonia Group

Caresheet for Mediterranean Tortoises: Spur-thighed Tortoise (Testudo graeca), Hermann's Tortoise (Testudo hermanni), Marginated Tortoise (Testudo marginata), Horsfield Tortoise (Testudo horsfieldi) | British Chelonia Group

The best food imo is Arcadia Optimized52 tortoise food. It is by far the best on the market. If you are up for a little gardening Tortoise Supply has seed mixes to grow as well as some herbal hay and dried dandelions. They also have a topper powder for grocery greens that makes them better.

TortoiseTable is a huge list of many plants and says if they are safe to eat or not.
