Hi Nade and welcome.

I also have a Hermanns, mine is 2 next month and I have had her since she was 6 months. I am completely rubbish at identifying weeds in the wild, so I grow a variety of plants (edible ones found on the tortoise table website) in my garden as well as shelled warriors seed mix for Mediterranean tortoises (they grow surprisingly quick!). I have also used pellets, and as you mentioned yes you do need to soak them in water before giving them to your tort or as someone else mentioned, some crispy florette lettuce mix and romaine lettuce thoroughly washed from the supermarket.
I try and give her a mixed diet each day, always with fresh water and she seems to stomp around and eat all her food so I hope she is happy!!
