>>They won't get obese. Thier is hardly any fat content in the greens that you feed, some fruits have a higher fat content, but you usually don't see them being fed to Tortoises.
Animals gain weight (fat or muscle) when calories consumed exceed calories burned. It doesn't matter if the calories come from fat, protein or carbohydrates. It's harder to get obese on a diet of grass and dandelions than on a diet of pork chops and cheese, but it's possible.
