Diet is not bad but watch that carrot. You also want to provide a variety. 75% of the diet should be timothy, orchard, bermuda hay and grasses. Mix in the greens (chickory, endive, dandelion, etc...) every other day. Collards are good once in awhile. Let them graze on the hay or grass on the other day. Best thing is to let them graze outside when the weather is better. I let mine graze most of the day outside and don't mix in store bought greens until the winter (when I have to). Good site for diet information is www.africantortoise.com
