They also eat mushrooms, and fruits such as gopher apple, pawpaw, blackberries, and saw palmetto berries.

In addition, gopher tortoises eat flowers from the genera Cnidoscolus (nettles), Tillandsia (Spanish and ball moss), Richardia, and Dyschoriste.

 Juvenile tortoises tend to eat more legumes, which are higher in protein, and fewer grasses and tough, fibrous plants than mature tortoises.

 Gopher tortoises have been known to scavenge carrion and eat excrement.

 As gopher tortoises usually get water from the food they eat, they usually only drink standing water in times of extreme drought.¹⁴

One of the most popular species with keepers the world over, Golden Greek Tortoise are outgoing and develop quite friendly dispositions.

They are a desert species and should never have a water bowl.

Constant access to greens and short, shallow soakings (3 times a week for hatchlings,

twice a week for yearlings and two year olds, and once each week for adults) is their source of hydration.

This along with their ability to quickly adapt to new environments is the key to their success.
