Not really the best for your tortoise. I've never managed to get mine to eat dried weeds. Can't be very exciting or tasty.

You would maybe better feeding pellets then but am sure the best thing would be to feed fresh weeds.

My Ibera will eat grass when in the garden and if there is some mixed in with his weeds he will eat it but if offered on its own, cut from the garden, he takes no notice.
