Tree leaves are palatble to tortoises but not great on which ones , i wouldn't feed nuts to much protien and very hard to digest for redfooteds

To be honest i would stick with weeds i think again tree leaves will be difficult to digest and with reds having a fast digestive tract there not really going to process much nutriants from them .
Ferns sorry avoid many contain harmful toxins .
