If I was you I would be very careful in terms of a vit. A shot. People have lost their tortoises over unnecessary vit. A shots, as vit. A is one of the ones that are toxic when overdosed.
Many vets that are not very experienced with tortoises seem to suggest a vit. A shot as a 'cure all'. But it should only be given when a test shows, that a vit. A deficiency is actually present.
In any other case the suggested carrots and dark greens will take care of the vit. A needs of a little tortoise.

Good luck with your baby,
Gaby
