Default Not feeding

i have rescued a 6 year old Horsefield tortoise called Sid. The vet gave him the once over and said he is in good shape and to feed him weeds. I have a long list of what he should and should not eat. Unfortunately, Sid can’t read and refuses to eat anything other than cucumber, courgette, lettuce and strawberries. He will eat tortoise pellets but only the pink ones. He chews away at the cuttlefishbone and his terracotta pot (he likes to bask in there as well). I was advised to only give him weeds until he’s hungry enough to want to eat them. After ten days of Sid not eating I am worried as he should be eating loads and getting fat ready for hibernation. Any advice please?
