If you are feeding pellets, cucumber and tomatoes then that's what they will always eat first, as it's junk food for them:0)
If you feed the junk foods one day, feed the good foods until they eat it:0)
Or mix all the foods together so they have to eat both:0)
Tortoises are strong willed, and wil wait for the foods they want rather than what's good for them:0)
Regular bathing will help keep them hydrated.
