mix it with the desired food items and gradually decrease the quantity of the undesired until weaned

Feeding the same thing every time is bad for your tort. Luckily our tort gets bored with food fast (and hates bananas!)
Try mixing it up with collard greens or watermelon. You can combine with your pellet food to help ween, but in my tort goes crazy when collards are around.
Also, try chopping or ripping your foliage up. Makes it more fragrant and gets them hungry.
Hope this helps
