As hermanns are not a fruit eating species, it's best not to offer her any at all.
See here for the best diet for a hermanni www.tortoises.net

I agree, the only bought food I offer my hermanns on an occassional basis is cucumber. There isn't any nutritional value to it, but it helps in the battle to keep them well hydrated!

cucumber is okay every so often but fruit is a definate to avoid. I gave my tort some once before i knew more about caring for torts and it gave him the s**ts (that was like 2 and a half years ago)

Mine get cucumber fairly regularly, and especially over winter with the heating on to dry them out more!
