Russian Tortoise Food

Russian tortoise's are herbivores meaning they only eat plants. A list of good plant you can find at a store are: Romaine lettuce,Red and green leaf lettuce, Endive, Escarole, Radicchio, Turnip greens, Mustard greens, KaleCollards, Spring Mix (mixed salad greens), cabbage (on occasion).

Plants and food to avoid are
Iceberg lettuce, Bok Choy, All grains (including bread, pasta etc), Dog and cat food, Meat, All human food except what's been listed as "good", and Pellet type foods For a complete list of what they can eat please visit here.

Recently i have been feeding my tortoise black berry leaves (watch out for the thorns on the leaves), ice plant, romaine lettuce, california poppy, strawberry leaves (no friut), dandelion, and celeriac (celery root).
