you can buy some dried flowers off torts and alsorts ebay shop. ive been using them 2 suppliment my sulcatas while weeds and grass is a bit short. there was also somebody selling dandilion clover and plantain plants. You can also get opatunia cactus on ebay.
i also use an indoor propogator on my window sill which has been working really well depending on what you want to grow.

I don't think you should feed dry food to tortoises.

you don't know what these plants have been treated/grown with so you have to be carefull.

Oh sculcata's. I don't know about them so I guess your right.

But the OP has a Hermans.
