i have been feeding them many different things. They get a lot of mixed greens (spring mix letuce, brocoli, green beans, avacado, zikini,..exc. I also add in squash, shreaded carrot, and mushrooms. They also LOVE tomatos and bannana but i heard those are not good for them...so i keep them to a minimum. I mix up the foods that they eat so that they get some variety.

I have this calcium mix called "tortoise dust" (it has some protein in it too) that i sprinkle on top of their food.
...i did buy that pellet tortoise food a few months ago and they LOVED it, but then i read online that it is not good for them...so i stopped.

any other suggestions?
