baby tortoise diet

[alfie]

Hi
I have a baby Russian Tortoise.
I believe he is about 9 months old.
Is there a certain diet that I need to make sure he is getting?
I bought him from an exotic pet store. And from what I researched about tortoise diets and what the pet store tells me is totally different.
Right now I feed him organic spring mix, hibiscus, cherry tomatoes (on occasion), collard greens, and fruit on occassion.
Is there anything specific that I need to be feeding my baby tortoise to ensure his health and growth??

Hi Alfie,
Cut out the tomatoes and any fruit (they can cause a proliferation of gut flora in your tort). Follow the list on this site and you'll be fine:
